Product description
Agitator Rök is a smoky single malt from the Swedish Agitator distillery. Her character is shaped by a combination of peaty malt and aging in Islay whiskey barrels and chestnut wood barrels – an approach that goes well beyond traditional whisky-making methods.
However, smoke isn't the only protagonist here. Its aroma blends with dried fruit, herbs, and hay, On the other hand, the flavor features citrus notes, fruity sweetness, and a subtle saltiness. Chestnut wood adds extra texture, while Islay whiskey barrels enhance the maritime, slightly peaty character.
The whole thing is well-balanced – smoky, but not overwhelming. At 43% ABV, Rök remains smooth while offering an interesting contrast between smokiness, fruit, spices, herbal notes, and a subtle saltiness.
This is an interesting option for people who are familiar with peated whiskeys from Scotland and want to try, How a Modern Swedish Distillery Interprets Smoke.
