Description

The Agot Single Malt Basque Whisky Pioneer Edition is handcrafted by Basque Moonshiners S.L. in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain. Inspired by the 'Agotes,' a marginalized community from the Pyrenees, this whisky is made from 100% Navarra barley (Pilsner and Munich malt). It undergoes double distillation in a copper still and ages for three years in ex-Bourbon and ex-Rioja Alavesa oak barrels. This limited edition release was awarded Best Spanish Single Malt at the World Whiskies Awards 2020 and is non-chill filtered with natural color.
