From Sweden’s High Coast distillery comes the third release in it’s peated Silent Mills Collection, a tribute to the bygone sawmills that once lined the river ngermanlven. Silent Mills #3 Svan is initially matured in bourbon barrels, with a portion of the whisky then treated to an additional maturation in virgin Swedish oak casks. Bottled at 51% and with a phenol content of 51 PPM, this is by no means a shy dram, but backed by expert craftsmanship, it remains wonderfully complex and balanced.

High Coast Silent Mills Collection – #3 Svan | 500ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Subtle smoke considering the phenol content, rich oaky vanilla, buttery apple cake, and a touch of waxy lemon peel.

Palate: Sweet smoke develops, with creamy vanilla custard, poached pears and apple peels, and gentle, warming spice.

Finish: The peat lingers, but doesn’t overpower. Stewed fruits remain, with the lemon peel re-emerging.

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.
