High Coast Berg Swedish Malt Whiskey

Swedish Single Malt Whisky | Pedro Ximénez Sherry Casks | Rich, Fruity & Luxuriously Sweet

High Coast Berg Swedish Malt Whiskey is a distinctive single malt from High Coast Distillery, created along the Ångermanälven River in Sweden's dramatic High Coast region. Part of the distillery's Origins series, Berg pays tribute to the mountains and granite landscape surrounding the distillery. The whisky is matured in bourbon casks before being finished in casks that previously held Pedro Ximénez sherry, giving it a rich and generously sweet character.

The PX sherry influence brings an indulgent combination of dried fruit, vanilla, caramel, and chocolate-like richness to the naturally fruity High Coast spirit. On the nose, expect raisins, vanilla, butterscotch, and orange chocolate. The palate develops into generous vanilla sweetness with ripe pear, dried apricots, and golden sultanas, creating a beautifully balanced combination of fruit, sweetness, and oak.

The finish is smooth and lingering, with dried fruit and gentle sweetness remaining on the palate. Berg is an unpeated Swedish single malt, allowing its fruit-forward character and rich PX sherry influence to take center stage. Its distinctive Nordic origin and award-winning reputation make it an appealing bottle for both collectors and enthusiasts exploring premium whisky beyond traditional Scotch.
