A lightly sweet, organic oat-based Whisky aged in Pear Brandy casks for a soft, lightly sweet dram of Austria.
Joseph Farthofer founded his Farthofer Distillery in 1996 at the age of 24. His family had been farming their orchards and pressing cider in Austria for more than one hundred years, so branching into the distillation of Schnapps — un-aged fruit Brandies — was a natural step for him. Since then his product lineup has grown to several dozen Schnapps and specialty Liqueurs that are highly regarded across Europe.
A few years ago Joseph decided to take a big risk. Already very successful in producing the classic Austrian Schnapps he had become famous for, he decided to take a chance on the production of Whiskies as well — developing several varieties. Farthofer Bio-Nackthafer Oat is a natural, organic, Single Grain Oat Whiskey aged for a minimum of three years in lightly toasted French oak casks that previously held Mostello (sweet Pear Brandy). It’s soft and sweet on the nose with a rich palate of toasted grains and vanilla… and it’s vegan to boot.
