The Austrian Maverick’s Whisky.

After gaining critical acclaim worldwide for his one of kind wines like Opitz One, a sweet red wine made from air-dried Zweigelt grapes, Willi Opitz has become one of the main players in the mini-boom of small craft Austrian wines that the world has had the pleasure of discovering lately.

There is no story of generations here because Opitz was in a completely different business a good decade ago. He left his corporate lifestyle and established a vineyards and a winery near the town of Illmitz in Burgenland. His estate encompasses 17 hectares that include 12 different varieties of plants and over 30 different wines in production.

But his ingenuity doesn’t stop at wine. One of his passions is to finish different casks of great single malts and bring them to life with exceptional new characteristics. That is why we’re offering you this astonishing new Scotch Whisky. The Homok casks were formerly used for Pinot Blanc grapes and to make sherry-like wine. This Scotch was finished in under a year and only 289 were ever produced. So sip with care.

Beer and malt Whisky seem to have quite a bit in common. Both drinks begin with malted barley, which deliver the enzymes and sugars needed for fermentation when steeped in hot water. The two go their separate ways at the wash stage, where they're fermented or aged to become the adult beverages you know and love.
Blended Whiskies are the result of years of craftsmanship and dedication. A master blender does not simply wake up one day with a profound ability to create a cohesive and enjoyable liquid. From nosing the liquid to working out quantities of each different grain and malt to go into the blend, a master blender can take years, if not decades, to train.
First-class Whiskies are taxed not only by the state but also by the angels. This refers to the 4% of Whisky that evaporates from the barrels every year, a phenomenon known as the angel’s share.
Scotland is home to more than 20 million casks of maturing Whisky. That’s four for every person living there. Nuts!
Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made in Scotland using a pot still distillation process at a single distillery, with malted barley as the only grain ingredient. It must be matured in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years (most Single Malts are matured longer, though).
