Product details
Teerenpeli SAVU Finnish Single Malt Whisky is a gently peated expression from Teerenpeli Distillery, Finland's pioneering whisky producer founded in 2002. Crafted using locally sourced Finnish barley and pure Salpausselkä groundwater, SAVU—meaning "smoke" in Finnish—embodies a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation. The whisky is matured in a combination of 80% ex-bourbon and 20% Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, a ratio selected through blind tastings by ambassadors and fair visitors. This maturation process imparts a balanced profile of gentle peat smoke and sweet, fruity notes. Bottled at 43% ABV, SAVU is non-chill filtered and free from added color, preserving its natural character.
On the nose, Teerenpeli SAVU offers aromas of peat smoke intertwined with fruity undertones. The palate reveals a gently peated flavor complemented by a sweet and smoky balance, featuring notes of butterscotch and caramel. The finish is delicate and pleasant, with a lingering smoky warmth. This nuanced profile makes SAVU an excellent companion to smoked meats, aged cheeses, or rich chocolate desserts. Its elegant complexity and smooth character have earned it accolades, including a 95-point rating at the International Wine & Spirit Competition 2020.
