Description

This Hammer Head 1989 Czech Single Malt is an exceptional and rare whisky distilled at the Prádlo Distillery in 1989, just before the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia. It was forgotten in casks for over 20 years and later bottled as a 23-year-old expression. Made with 100% Czech barley and matured in Czech oak casks, it represents a unique piece of European whisky history.
