Something nice in between Schnapps and Whiskey (Schn-iskey?).
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 line up 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 three of them. Farthofer Single Grain Oat is a single barrel Oat Whisky aged in lightly toasted French oak casks. It’s soft and sweet on the nose with a rich palate of toasted grains and vanilla.
