Alexandrion Group presented the extended range of Carpathian Single Malt to whisky afficionados from the Transylvania region, but also to those who are just becoming familiar, with this spirits category, during an event organized in Cluj-Napoca, at the Bardot bar.
The event is the first of the regional events series that Carpathian Single Malt Whisky will organize, this year, in a plan to reach all those wanting to taste the first ever single malt whisky produced entirely in Romania, at the Alexandrion Saber Distilleries 1789, located in the heart of the Carpathian Mountains.
Dr. Nawaf Salameh, the Founding Chaiman of the Alexandrion Group, said: “After the commercial launch event, that we organized in Bucharest, last year, we aim to travel throughout the country with Carpathian Single Malt and give everyone the opportunity to try a single malt whisky produced entirely in Romania, using the highest quality natural resources.
We are creating the opportunity to do just that, in a relaxed setting, surrounded by our expert team that can best tell the remarkable story of this whisky so far. Through these events we also want to thank all those who have supported us since the launch of the project and who live in different regions of the country, visiting them in their home city.
We started with an event organized in the Transylvania region, because we have a long history there, solid partnerships, built over the years. We also have many consumers and buyers, there, who are open to trying and appreciating top quality Romanian products and who feel proud when a recently launched national product demonstrates that it can successfully compete with established international products, with long standing tradition, such as Carpathian Single Malt Whisky has managed to prove in only one year.
We are delighted to see such a high demand from retailers and HORECA locations in this region, which shows us that our whisky is already highly appreciated here as well. We will continue the listings in many other locations planned over the coming months”
“Transylvania is a strategic region for us, where we want to make long-term investments in several business areas including F&B, hospitality, energy, real estate, where we see many opportunities”, added Dr. Salameh.
The Carpathian Single Malt Whisky range has expanded, in less than 1 year since its launch, to 13 expressions: Fetească Neagră, Pinot Noir, Madeira, Chianti, Oloroso, Pedro Ximenez, Tawny Port, Burgundy, Cognac, Amarone, Ruby Port, Vradiano and Commandaria, the latter being created exclusively for the Cyprus and Greece markets.
The most recent expressions are: Amarone – part of the Italian Wine Cask Collection, Ruby Port – an expression that belongs to Spanish & Portuguese Wine Cask Collection and Vradiano, from the Greek & Cypriot Wine Cask Collection.
Initially matured in hand selected American white oak, ex-Kentucky Bourbon 200L barrels and then carefully transferred for finishing in 225L Amarone wine barrels from a family winery located in Fumane, Valpolicella region, Italy, Carpathian Single Malt Amarone appeals to particular whisky connoisseurs.
The Ruby Port expression stands out through a special sweetness, with red fruit hints, which perfectly complement the vanilla notes conveyed by the bourbon barrel in which it was matured.
The Greek Vradiano wine influences the taste of the new Carpathian Single Malt Vradiano expression with its balanced vanilla hints. This expression, as well, benefited from a first maturation, for three years, in American white oak ex-Kentucky bourbon barrels, at the first filling, with a capacity of 53 gallons.
