Whiskey - AIKAN - Extra Collection n ° 1 - 43%
AIKAN means "marriage" in Arawak, the language of the first inhabitants of Martinique. AIKAN is a desire to meet between two continents (Europe and America), two climates (continental and tropical), two worlds of spirits (whiskey and rum.)
After distillation in Scotland or in mainland France, this Whiskey continues to mature in the tropical climate of Martinique. Whiskeys aged in these temperature and humidity conditions are very rare and recognized for their quality. If angels are particularly greedy (10% evaporation per year, against 2% in a continental climate), they are also very generous. It is recognized that the concentration of aromas and therefore the maturation is about 4 times faster.
The Extra collection - Batch 1 is made from Scottish whiskeys that have aged for almost 3 years in a continental climate and a second aging of two years in Martinique in a tropical climate. A great whiskey to offer or to offer that will delight both malt and rum lovers!
