Product description
Old Raven Distillery was established in 2004 and is one of the pioneers of Austrian whisky production.
The plant is located in the Lafnitz Valley, in the former premises of the Hungarian customs office. Water for production is drawn from the Raven Well (Rabenbrunnen) from a depth of 98 meters, and Charly, a domesticated raven, watches over the calm maturation of the local distillates. Old Raven whisky is triple distilled from "unpeated" malt (85%) and "peated" malt (15%); the Black Edition presented here was blended from distillates aged in Oloroso sherry and Pedro Ximénez sherry casks. The whisky went on sale in June 2012, bottled with a natural color and without chill filtration.
