Product description
In the 1970s, leading figures of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia decided to produce whisky based on local raw materials.
The choice fell on a small distillery in Prádlo, but after years of trials the results were unsatisfactory and only replacing the own peat with Scottish peat brought the expected result. After 1989 the concept of Czech whisky collapsed and the privatized producer had no idea how to use the existing stocks. It was only the takeover of its assets in 2007 by the London Stock Spirit Group that led to the debut of the single malt Hammer Head. The year 2013 brought the edition of 23-year-old whisky, distilled 1989. Only Czech barley and barrels made of Czech oak were used in the production.
Aroma: malty and fruity with a hint of vegetables, apples, plums, breakfast cereals with nuts, vanilla, cotton candy, rosehip jam and oak.
Taste: strongly malty, baked apples, vanilla, brown sugar, white pepper, a mixture of dry herbs, oak and a fleeting hint of smoke.
Finish: medium long, malty and herbal, with notes of pepper and vanilla.
