Tasting Notes

Nose

Medium intensity — delicate white pepper, oak, vanilla. The Greek Vradiano wine cask influence adds balanced vanilla hints and a gentle, wine-derived warmth.

Palate

Sweet but slightly salty, balanced and rich. The Vradiano finishing — in American white oak barrels previously holding Greek wine — adds a distinctive Mediterranean character. At 46%, non-chill-filtered.

Finish

Long and complex. The Greek wine influence sustains with gentle warmth.

Carpathian Single Malt Vradiano Cask Finish is part of the Greek & Cypriot Wine Cask Collection — Romanian single malt matured in bourbon casks for three years, then finished in 200-litre American white oak barrels that previously held Vradiano, a Greek wine from the Alexandrion group's Mediterranean portfolio.

The cross-Mediterranean concept is uniquely Alexandrion. The Romanian barley, sub-Carpathian water and bourbon base maturation are finished in Greek wine casks — connecting two whisky-unfamiliar cultures through a shared parent company. The Vradiano wine adds balanced vanilla hints and a gentle, slightly salty sweetness.

Carpathian Vradiano is the most unusual expression in an already unusual range. The Greek wine influence is subtle but genuine, and the combination of Romanian and Greek heritage in a single bottle is something no other whisky producer can offer. At 46%, non-chill-filtered, the presentation is honest. A Mediterranean whisky in the truest sense.
