We are delighted to announce that Carpathian Single Malt Whisky is a double master medal winner at the Global Luxury Masters 2023.

The competition was a good opportunity to mark another world premiere. One of the two master medals was awarded to Romania’s first single malt peated whisky, Carpathian Single Malt Whisky Peated Cask Strength, a revelation to the judges who described its tasting notes as follows: “barbecue smoke on the nose, roasted peaches, good richness and spice”.

Allan Anderson, Master Distiller Carpathian Single Malt Whisky said: “Carpathian Single Malt Whisky is going from strength to strength. The Peated Cask Strength expression will appeal to those entering the peated whisky category but also to fans of peated whisky. The malted barley is sourced from our partners in Belgium, smoked with the best Scottish peat imparting a phenol content of 35ppm which leaves a nice smoky flavour whilst retaining the sweetness that a good whisky deserves. The fact that the judges were impressed by its qualities and decided to rank it at the very top of the competition is a great success for Carpathian Single Malt Whisky and the Alexandrion Group.”

With its “pleasant body, with fruitcake and Tawny fruit notes”, Carpathian Single Malt Vradiano Cask Finish was awarded the second master medal.
