Agitator Whisky

Agitator Partnership Whisky Today, we’re unveiling our latest partnership whisky – SamuelWhisky No. 3. This release marks the third chapter in our collaboration with whisky influencer and Agitator Brand Ambassador, Samuel Lindlöf. Our partnership whiskies are an opportunity to collaborate with Agitator and create unique whiskies together. Building on the success of SamuelWhisky No.1 and No.2, which both sold out quickly in 2022 and 2023, this new release once again pushes boundaries. SamuelWhisky No. 3 combines a unique blend: 51.5% aged in red wine casks, with the remainder aged in a 2nd-fill bourbon cask, originally used for No.1. Bottled at a natural cask strength of 61%, it offers bold flavours of red currants, fruit compote, and vanilla cake. SamuelWhisky No. 3 is a limited edition with only 444 bottles available.

Introducing Agitator Chestnut Reserve Rum Today marks a significant milestone for us at Agitator. After pushing the boundaries in whisky, we’re now stepping into new territory with the launch of Agitator Chestnut Reserve Rum. The interest in rum is higher than ever, but there is still a gap in the market. Most rum either hails from the Caribbean or tries to evoke that same tropical origin. But we set out to create something different—our first Swedish rum. No palm trees, no pirates. Instead, it's created through genuine Swedish craftsmanship by our team at our distillery in Arboga. We call it a typically Swedish rum. Chestnut Reserve Rum is the first large-scale Swedish rum and we use the same innovative methods that made Agitator successful in whisky. The molasses for the rum is fermented with our unique yeast blend and then vacuum distilled at low temperatures in our vacuum stills, just like the whisky. The result is a complex and nuanced raw spirit that is then diluted to 55% and aged in Agitator's characteristic chestnut casks, which gives a distinct wood sweetness and further enhances the flavours. Agitator Chestnut Reserve Rum has a sweet character with hints of coconut, plum, grapefruit, cocoa and fudge, which is balanced by the distinct wood tones of the chestnut barrels. It is suitable for sipping neat or as a versatile base for a variety of rum cocktails.   Now available at Systembolaget: https://lnkd.in/dr9rR4Nm

In an industry that is characterized by tradition, Agitator Whisky is breaking new ground – e.g. with vacuum distillation and maturation in chestnut wood barrels.

Finding a whisky versatile enough to elevate all classic cocktails is a challenge. That's where Rye Rye steps in. Whether it's a Manhattan or a classic Old Fashioned, this whisky delivers, offering a seamless blend that's equally satisfying whether blended or neat. Say goodbye to the dilemma of choosing between a cocktail or savoring the spirit on its own. We've taken the best of both worlds and created a whisky that gives whisky drinkers and bartenders a new dimension to play with in the glass. Today we released our first premium blended rye whisky together with prominent Swedish bartender Emil Åreng. A true icon in the industry, known for his exclusive use of Swedish spirits to push the boundaries of cocktails. With an invitingly sweet aroma featuring distinct rye and new oak character and flavors of roasted nuts, chocolate, light roast coffee, brioche, and caramel, this whisky is a smooth yet assertive companion.

Since our inception, we've wholeheartedly embraced the use of chestnut casks in crafting our whiskies. We steadfastly believe it elevates the quality and flavor of the spirit. Our journey with chestnut casks began with our limited edition release, Argument: Kastanj back in 2021, which garnered such overwhelming success that it demanded a permanent place in our lineup. Today, we're thrilled to unveil our latest creation: Agitator Chestnut Cask. This exceptional whisky undergoes maturation in chestnut casks, a practice actually prohibited by Scotch Whisky Regulations, which dictates that Scotch whisky must be aged in oak casks. But rules are made to be challenged, right? We believe that chestnut casks impart a unique character and flavor profile, distinct from traditional oak. With its deeper color, robust texture, and natural sweetness, our Chestnut Cask defies convention and sets a new standard for whisky enthusiasts. Chestnut casks form the basis of most of Agitator's whisky. So Chestnut Cask isn't just a new whisky - it's Agitator in liquid form. 🥃 https://lnkd.in/dguBqTxA #whisky #innovation #sustainability #sweden
