"Seven Seals Zodiac Line" - Infinite variety of flavors.

Five whiskies with the characteristics of the zodiac signs

(pm/sp) Over thousands of years, the production of whisky (also called "water of life") has evolved and been perfected through ongoing progress. Fathers and scholars have passed on this craft to their successors, helping to shape single malt as we know it today. Each generation has had to be open to innovation in order to keep pace with change. Seven Seals' partners were also fortunate enough to meet such scholars along their life's journey. With the help of the knowledge imparted by them, another milestone in the development and perfection of whiskey production could be laid. "Time doesn't matter" - time is far from being the main aspect of our refinement. "Taste matters" - the decisive factor is the taste.

FACTS & FIGURES

The variety of flavors of single malt whiskies is infinite: from slightly citrusy and very delicate to full-bodied malts with lush notes to earthy, very smoky whiskies, you can find it all. But unfortunately, this variety of distinctive whiskies is steadily decreasing due to the lack of good barrels. This is a consequence of the huge demand for the golden elixir. If one knows what influence the oak barrel as well as the liquid once contained in it (whisky is mostly matured in previously used oak barrels) have on the whisky (60% of the taste), it quickly becomes clear: If the barrel quality dwindles, the end product also loses character. The first six years or so in the oak barrel are the most important in the conventional maturation phase of a fine single malt whisky. During this time, about 80% of the cask aroma is released into the liquid. The rest is due to evaporation loss, also called "angels' share". Approximately 2-3% of the contents and alcohol volume percent evaporate each year, making the flavor in the liquid, which cannot escape, more concentrated and complex from year to year. This physical process has an enormous impact on the character of the future single malt whisky. This is one of the main reasons why people always talk about "the older, the better". The concentration of the aroma in the liquid alone makes up the taste experience, but this is only partially related to the aging of the single malt. In recent years, various new whisky distilleries around the world have come onto the market with new innovative aging processes. These innovations show that not only the time in the barrel is decisive for a high quality whisky. Heat, high pressure and various mechanical influences are used to accelerate this phase of aroma release from the barrel to the whisky. If this maturation process can be shortened, it has two significant advantages: On the one hand, all the many barrels that have been blocked by storage for decades are back in circulation more quickly, and on the other hand, the financial storage costs are reduced many times over.
