Deep in the sub-Carpathian hills, the Carpathian single malt distillery has been quietly perfecting maturation since 2016.
Every drop of Carpathian single malt starts its life as rainwater in the unexpected nature of the Carpathian mountains, home of the biggest wildlife in Europe.
Carpathian Single Malt is distilled, matured and bottled at the Alexandrion Saber 1789 Distillery, located near the Carpathian Mountains. It is made using 100% malted barley produced in Romania, with sub-Carpathian water, and it is bottled at 46% ABV. Alexandrion Group is Romania’s largest spirits and wine producer and they use wine casks that are sourced from prestigious producers of famous wines: Porto, Sherry…
The whisky has been under the stewardship of master distiller Allan Anderson, who holds more than 30-years’ experience in Scotch whisky and Irish whiskey distillation.
Carpathian Single Malt by Alexandrion is the first and only Romanian single malt and we are excited to bring this to you.
Carpathian Cabernet Sauvignon Single Malt from the Romanian Wine Cask Collection has initially matured for over three years in 200L select bourbon casks made of white American oak, then this whisky was transferred to 225L red wine Cabernet Sauvignon barrels where it finished for 11 months.
The finishing casks were sourced from Alexandrion's own winery.
