Product details
Pour & Sip’s first Romanian whisky, and we suspect yours too? Keeper of the Quaich (an honour that recognises outstanding commitment to Scotch whisky - in this case championing it in Romania) and Alexandrion Group founder Nawaf Salameh is out to put Romanian single malt on the map with the help of master distiller and whisky director Allan Anderson who brings over 30 years of experience in Scotch and Irish whiskies to the project.
Alexandrion is also one of Romania’s biggest wine producers, allowing them to utilise their own barrels for whisky maturation with full control over quality and supply. An enviable position. We knew we wanted to feature one of their Romanian wine cask finishes, with one standing out: Fetească Neagră, a quintessentially Romanian grape and wine. 100% Romanian barley is used, along with water from the sub-Carpathian hills.
