Old Eight (Brazilie / Campari Group)

[McMalt]

Uit Brazilie een obscure fles meegenomen: Old Eight. Dacht eerst dat het een blend was a la Old Parr. Via Google kom ik er achter dat het een loot aan de Campari-boom is. Vraag is alleen wat die toegevoegde tradionele materialen zijn. Cachaça? En mag een blend met non-whisky nog whisky heten?

Brazilian Whisky with a Scottish soul
Old Eight is one of the most famous whiskies in Brazil.With an eclectic combination of tradition, materials and ability it creates a unique mix with a strong character.Produced in Brazil with pure malt imported from Scotland and according to the original process of the old continent. The result is one unique and incomparable whisky.Old Eight is of an amber colour with golden crystal tones, it has a perfume that is harmonious with hints of wood and peat, and a flavour that is slightly spicy, wooded and persistent.

Old Eight was launched in the market with an objective to create a proper Brazilian whisky. It became very popular due to its quality and its successful advertising campaign.
