Tasting Notes
Nose
Fresh and crisp, reminiscent of a spring meadow. Subtle hints of forest honey and beeswax add a sweet, natural depth without overpowering the profile.
Palate
The initial impression is creamy and mild, with a pleasant sweetness of honey and sugary undertones. Fruity notes of apricot and peach gently come to the fore. A slight warmth develops over time, harmonizing the overall flavor.
Finish
The finish is short but delightful. Sweet and fruity notes linger briefly, followed by a light dryness with a touch of white pepper, creating an elegant conclusion.

This Infinity Cask is like a lively stroll full of surprises – sweet, fruity, and with a charming hint of roughness that gives it character. It’s simply fun to sip your way through the flavors without it ever feeling too complicated. For anyone looking for a whisky that stays vibrant yet remains pleasantly approachable, this comes highly recommended.
Sascha 80/100
The Infinity Cask impresses with its balanced interplay of sweetness, fruitiness, and subtle spice notes, even though the somewhat rough texture keeps it from achieving perfect harmony. Its clear structure and moderate finish reveal an interesting cask strategy that still leaves room for greater finesse. For connoisseurs who appreciate complex English single casks, this whisky offers a solid, if not flawless, experience.

Vink Peated Port 5 Years
Our dear neighbors from the Netherlands typically favor genever, often aged, over whisky. While genever shares the idea of using malted barley in its production, the additional distillation with juniper drastically alters its character. However, today we're trying a genuine Dutch whisky. Unchill-filtered and aged in ex-Bourbon and ex-Port wine casks.
