FINEST BLENDED WHISKEY from CANARIAS by Destilerías ALDEA: 100% Artisanal · Premium · 100% Canarian.
Ingredients from the Canary Islands: a perfect blend made with native varieties of raw wheat, grown in the north of La Palma, toasted wheat (Gofio) and Barley Malt roasted and slowly smoked with wood embers.
DRAGO FINEST BLENDED WHISKEY, a Canarian Whiskey with a modern, fresh and light touch.
This “Finest Blended Canarian Whiskey” is made with a perfectly balanced blend of wheat and barley. Its composition uses 50% raw wheat and 25% raw barley, along with 15% barley malt and 10% malted wheat, all of them from the most common varieties cultivated on the islands, such as the “barbilla” wheat (Triticum Aestivum) and the local or “rabuda or plaganuda” barley (Hordeum Vulgare).
The distillation of both products is carried out in a simple copper column from the end of the 19th century with direct combustion over wood fire. We obtain a spirit with a lighter profile for the raw grain, distilling between 75-80% vol. and a somewhat heavier profile in the case of malts, between 60-65% vol., thus preserving all the character of the cereal, all its aroma and flavour, and maintaining with great intensity the different levels of smoky notes. Maturation takes place in 225-litre oak barrels in new European oak barrels (Quercus Robur, Quercus Petraea, Quercus Pyrenaica), from Hungarian, French and Spanish forests. As a fundamental and final part, the product is hydrated with water, an element of great importance in the production of whiskey, using pure water from the natural aquifers of Marcos and Cordero on the island of La Palma. In the composition of this whiskey, an aromatic profile close to Scotch whisky is sought due to its greater affinity with the Canary Islands market.
