Het Whisky Forum

Naast de beroemde Bouquetreeks, zijn Coilltean en No Age ook bekende labels van Samaroli. No Age is een serie vatted malt whisky’s, welke enkel en alleen whisky bevat van de laatste Schotse artisanale distilleerderijen. Een statement tegen de industrialisatie van de distilleren als het ware.

A harmonious vatting of whiskies aged from ten to over forty years in special sherry and oak casks, produced exclusively
by Scotland’s last artisan distilleries, which still use the same procedure as a hundred years ago.
NoAge is the only whisky for which the reduction of original alcohol lasts for no less than twelve months, as was the custom in the 19th century.
All the batches are re-blended every two-three months. A small percentage of water is added to it, so that it is gradually absorbed by the whisky’s various organoleptic components.
This practice has been abandoned by everyone else, as it was too expensive. NoAge does not undergo artificial colouring, nor is it submitted to chill filtration, which could remove its original components and natural aromas

One example is the technique used for our NoAge: not adding distilled water all at one time, but – as was
the tradition in the 19th century – in the course of an entire calendar year, to enable to spirit to “welcome”
the new element, avoiding the risk of unbalancing the delicate combination of 40 single malts, whose
ages, in the case of the 2008 edition, go from 1957 to 1996.
