History

Aichinger is an Austrian distillery located in the northern part of Austria near Linz and is described as a malted-fruity whisky. According to the information, the company is originally not a distillery, but a winery that produces wine as well as fortified wines and liqueurs. According to the data, the Aichinger winery was opened in 1997 and began producing the first wine in 2000. They later expanded their range to Barrique wines, and these casks are used for the maturation of the whisky. It is unclear whether the distillery will continue production. The warehouses are located in the Alps, which provides a special climate; winter is colder and summer warmer than in Scotland. The choice of casks for aging of the whisky is Barrique wine casks, which makes the whisky dark and adds a fruity note. The number of bottles is 5, and the status is Active.
