Carpathian Single Malt Greek Beer Cask Finish is perhaps the most unusual expression in the entire Carpathian range — Romanian single malt finished in casks that previously held Greek beer. Beer cask finishing in whisky is extraordinarily rare, and the concept is genuinely unprecedented at this scale.
The beer cask influence adds a cereal, yeasty quality that is quite different from wine, sherry or rum finishing. The biscuity, malty character complements the whisky's grain base in an unexpected way — adding cereal depth rather than fruit or sweetness.
Whether the beer cask concept appeals is personal. The flavour is genuine and interesting, if unconventional. At 46%, non-chill-filtered, the presentation is honest. Carpathian continues to push the boundaries of finishing with this genuinely novel expression.
