Mosgaard Palo Cortado Cask took its first steps towards the finished product several years ago. There we had the casks built from American white oak, got them medium toasted, and aged them with Palo Cortado sherry.
The Palo Cortado sherry that has matured in the casks is no ordinary sherry. It is a sherry that Gitte and Jes Mosgaard have blended themselves in Spain. The sherry has been in the casks for 1.5 years and penetrated as deeply into the wood as possible - thus maturing the cask to be able to make Palo Cortado whisky. When the casks were mature, the sherry went on, and we got the casks to Denmark, and they were filled with New Spirit.
The Palo Cortado whiskey is now finally matured and ready for bottling. It has become an elegant Palo Cortado aged whisky, with intense flavor notes of malt, caramel, grapes, marzipan, lemongrass, bitter oranges, plums and green apples.
