Langatun Port Cask Finish Single Malt Whisky
Robert from Highfern.com has kindly sent me a Langatun Distillery sample to try from their range of whiskies!
Limited to just 512 bottles
It is their Port Cask Finish Single Malt Whisky and many thanks to highfern.com (@HighfernLtd) for sending it to me!
The Port Cask Finish is already a classic among the Langatun Cask Finishes. Pre-aging in a Chardonnay cask gives the whisky its delicate sweetness with beautiful vanilla and wood notes. Afterwards, this single malt whisky is transferred to a port cask for two years for a period of post-maturation, the so-called finish.
This allows the whisky to take on the typical fruity aromas and the dried fruits of the port wine come out very nicely. This beautifully rounded, almost six-year-old whisky is limited to just 512 bottles.
So, what did I think? Here are my tasting notes …

About Langatun Distillery
As a newly graduated master brewer, Jakob Baumberger founded a distillery on his father’s farm in 1857. In 1860 he took over a small brewery in Langenthal (celtic: “Langatun”), which he subsequently expanded into a flourishing business alongside the distillery.
Later his descendants Hans Baumberger I and II continued the brewing and distilling tradition. In 2005 Hans Baumberger III took up the vision of his great-grandfather again with the production of the hand-made Langatun Single Malts and other distillates of highest quality in best family tradition.
