Thy Whisky No. 20 - Maltmod is a single malt whisky shaped and created by experiments in our own malt house.

sweet and unconventional single malt

The intense 'cara' new make has initially aged in 12 small bourbon octaves (50 litres), then larger bourbon casks and is finally blended with two oloroso casks, which then have been given time to gather in the barrels.

The result is whisky with great vanilla sweetness and intense burnt caramel with underlying fruity notes. On the nose are notes of leather and cedar with a faint hint of tobacco. The taste starts with sweet vanilla toffee, nougat and some pickled fruit and ends in burnt caramel with a touch of cloves and oak.

Certified organic

This whisky is made from 100% certified organic grains grown on our estate, Gyrup. Both the farm and the distillery are certified organic to ensure pure drinking water and good animal welfare.

A malt house for experiments

Before a whisky is distilled, the grain must be malted. In our custom-made drums, we germinate, smoke and dry our grain in small batches. Here, many of the aromas that characterise our whisky are produced.

The malt tastes very different depending on how we malt it. In this release we have used a high proportion of 'cara' malt with rich aromas of burnt caramel and dark berries.

The intense caramel malt

When we malt the 'cara' malt, we convert the starch of the grain into sugar, which is then roasted. This results in intense roasted and fruity notes that waft across the farm, when the drums are opened.

Caramel malts are less effective. They produce less alcohol than the lighter, more efficient malts, but in return they create flavours unlike any other whisky.
