he second release in the Silent Mills Collection from High Coast distillery in Sweden has been given the sherry cask treatment. Silent Mills #2 Sand is a nod to the long-closed sawmills that lined the banks of the icy river ngermanlven, which was used to transport logs downriver, and which now supplies the cooling water for High Coast’s distillations. This peated single malt whisky combines first-fill bourbon cask, and oloroso sherry hogshead aged whisky, for a flavourful dram with plenty of sweetness and smoke.

High Coast Silent Mills Collection – #2 Sand | 500ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Mouth-watering barbeque smoke, with creamy vanilla and barley sugar, plenty of sherry character with dried raisins and cocoa nibs.

Palate: Rich smoke, with sticky malt loaf, dried prunes and apples, and gentle spice.

Finish: The peat lingers, backed by sherry soaked fruits, and crisp apple.

Distillery Information

High Coast is a Swedish distillery that were big fans of here at MoM Towers, which is why it featured in this delightful blog post! Initially the Scandanvian spirit producers made Box Single Malt Whisky, however the brand name Box Destilleri (inspired by the distillerys location in a former wooden box factory power plant) was changed to High Coast (or Hga Kasten, the region of Sweden it calls home) due to a small conflict with another company that had Box in the name. No prizes for guessing who. Distillation first began back in November 2010 in two pot stills and three washbacks which could produce about 90,000 litres of pure alcohol per year. The capacity has since increased to about 350,000 litres, with current production sitting at around 200,000 litres. Distillation occurs seven days a week creating two new-make recipes: unpeated and heavily peated, and distillery manager Roger Melander claims that High Coast makes more than 1,000 different products every year. Thats a lot of tasty tipples.
