CASK NO. 19.83

FORTIFICATION FROM VIENNA TO ATHENS

€ 212.30

Transport the senses from Vienna to Athens

Introducing Cask No. 19.83: Fortification from Vienna to Athens, a dram to enjoy during a warm sunset with a nice cool summer breeze and to celebrate the year of the Society’s birth.

Some clichés are clichés for a good reason. So yes, if you think of an apple strudel you might be transported to Vienna, for a dough filled with sweet-tart apple pieces, fine breadcrumbs, rum-soaked raisins, ground cinnamon, lemon juice and icing sugar. That’s where our Tasting Panel started the journey with this whisky, where strudel was served with whipped cream and a Wiener melange – an espresso with steamed milk, topped off with milk froth. Diluted, the whisky took our adventurous panellists on the Orient Express from Vienna to Athens, enjoying Kalamata olives followed by a Greek meze platter with plenty of pitta bread, feta and tzatziki. All this was washed down with a mastiha liqueur, made using the resin from the mastic tree on the island of Chios.
