Chill Haze

You may notice a slight film forming in your bottle. Don't be alarmed, this is completely harmless and not a sign of poor quality.

We'd be happy to explain what you're seeing here. This haze is called " chill haze ." It consists of microscopic aggregates of:

• long-chain fatty acids and esters,

• Wood extracts (lignin degradation products, tannins),

• Residual oils from distillation.

These substances are soluble at room temperature, but not in cold temperatures. We bottled the whisky at approximately 13°C using a non-chill filtration method. This preserves more aromatic compounds in the whisky. Temperature fluctuations, especially during cool storage, make the sediment visible; shaking the bottle or returning the whisky to room temperature will remove it, as it dissolves back into the alcohol-water mixture.

The cloudiness is a purely visual phenomenon. It means that the whisky has not been overfiltered, but rather has been left as natural as possible. However, we understand that it can be disconcerting if you don't know the source of this cloudiness.

In order to maintain natural filtration but avoid these cloudiness issues, we will bottle the 2026 whisky with a slightly higher alcohol content (43%+) and thus also meet the wishes of some customers.
