Myken Arctic Single Malt – Ocean Heart

We have been planning for our first core whisky for years, and now it is here: Ocean Heart, made both by and of the sea.

Ocean Heart has first been maturing in 200 liters ex-bourbon oak casks for nearly 5 years, before maturing another 0,5 years in several 30-, 40- and 50 L casks, both exbourbon and exsherry casks, of which a few had previously held Myken peated whisky for about 4 years.

Yeast: Safspirit M-1 distiller’s yeast

Malt:  Weyermann Pilsner Malt, Extra Hell

Process water: Desalinated sea water (reverse osmosis) from Myken municipal water plant

Cooling water: Sea water pumped directly from the ocean

Batch size: 125 kg malt / 580 L wort

Ocean Heart is a release that is continuously available, and it would therefore not be appropriate to specify each included batch of distillation, or each specific cask. Common to all Ocean Hearts is that they are aged in used bourbon barrels, and that the spirit is unsmoked.
