On 11 October we will once again organise our popular Whisky Day on board M/S Eckerö. Two of our suppliers, Agitator and House of Liquids will be our guests and tell us all about their respective whiskies.
Welcome on board M/S Eckerö where we invite you to a Whisky Day this autumn. Two of our suppliers will visit us on board with exciting and different portfolios. Both hold master classes during the days, both on the 10.00 tour and on the 15.00 tour round trip.
Master Class - Swedish whisky shows the way forward
Agitator is known for its vacuum distillation, an innovative method where distillation takes place at lower temperatures than normal. This allows more of the natural flavours and aromas of the raw materials to be preserved - resulting in a purer, more complex and flavourful whisky.
Agitator is a breath of fresh air in the whisky world. Or as they themselves say on their website:
What if, instead of constantly looking backwards, we looked to the future? We are convinced that the best whisky has not yet been created. Nor has the perfect distillation technique been developed, the ultimate mash recipe been written down, or the perfect maturing cask been crafted. We hope you'll join us as we agitate for the future of whisky. As we think new, free and forward.
With their sometimes unconventional approach to whisky production, they have created something new and neither the positive reviews nor the medals have been long in coming. Take the opportunity to get a guided insight into Agitator's vision for the future together with their Brand Ambassador.
During the tasting, you will be taken on a taste journey through Agitator's range, where each whisky tells its own story. A knowledgeable representative from Agitator will guide you through each glass and explain how the technique affects the flavour profile.
