Langatun Old Bear

Description

Langatun ‘Old Bear’ Smoky Swiss Single Malt Whisky (50cl / 40%)

Jakob Baumberger, founding father of the Langatun Distillery, took over the Langenthal-based brewery in 1860, and the bear became the emblem of the family business. The name ?Old Bear? honours the beginnings of this history.

?Old Bear? is distilled in a similar manner to ?Old Deer?. Roasted malted barley is added, however, hence the epithet ?smoky?. The smoking process is the same as for meat or fish.

?Old Bear? is matured in oak barrels that have previously been used to mature Ch?teauneuf-du-Pape – a powerful, deep red French wine.It is a deep, chestnut-brown colour, has pleasant aromas of wood and smoke, and Langatun whisky?s typical malty flavour, with a subtle hint of wine.

At 40% ABV, despite its powerful aroma, this single malt remains sweet and soft.
