Teerenpeli SAVU Finnish Single Malt Whisky is an incredibly well-made whisky, which was distilled and aged in Finland using locally grown barley.

The whisky is distilled from 87% pilsner malt, and 13% heavily peated malt, and the resulting new make spirit is peated to 5ppm. The pilsner malt is grown in Finland within 95 miles of the distillery, while the water used to make the spirit is filtered through the Salpausselkä esker, a gravel ridge formed by the ice age about 10,000 years ago. The spirit is double distilled in copper pot stills, which were produced in Scotland for Teerenpeli’s own design specifications. Following distillation, SAVU is aged in medium toasted first fill ex-Bourbon and Pedro Ximinez Sherry casks, which are sourced directly from the Cordoba region in Spain.

The casks are placed in 40 foot shipping containers and are placed outside, where the extreme temperature shifts of the Finnish climate help craft an extremely complex whisky. In Finland, the temperature in the winter drops to -30° F, while it gets as high as 85° F in the Summer. No artificial heating or cooling is used during the aging process. Teerenpeli SAVU received a 94 Point Rating from Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible.
