Since he grows almost all of his ingredients himself, he was able to have his distillery \u003cstrong\u003ecertified organic\u003c\/strong\u003e at an early stage. Naturally, the organic corn for this whisky also comes from his own fields. In his column still, Josef distills a raw spirit, which is then processed into a fine spirit in a copper pot still. \u003cstrong\u003eThe distillate matures for four years in ex-red wine casks.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e At the Berlin Freimeisterkollektiv, a cask finish in ex-Speckbirne (bacon pear) barrels refines the whisky.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eGreen apple, oolong, popcorn\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePalate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlum, baked apple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBitter almonds, roasted corn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe corn is ground, mixed with spring water, and heated. After the starch has been saccharified, baker's yeast is added to initiate fermentation. The fermented mash made from 100% organic corn is then first distilled in a column still. The result is a distillate known in whiskey production as low wine. This is distilled a second time in a copper pot still. \nJosef stores the high-proof distillate for four years in local oak barrels that previously held red wine. This gives this whiskey a completely different flavor profile than its distant relatives from the United States. To perfect the aromas, the whisky is stored at Freimeisterkollektiv in Berlin in the former Speckbirne barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Freimeisterkollektiv (FMK)","offers":[{"title":"0.5 L","offer_id":54886713033037,"sku":"743488","price":58.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.2 L","offer_id":54886713065805,"sku":"743477","price":29.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/2822\/0749\/files\/743488.jpg?v=1790590334","url":"https:\/\/schoenbichler.at\/en\/products\/freimeisterkollektiv-corn-whisky","provider":"Theehandlung Schönbichler","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
