Caskshare to ballot A Trio of Whiskies in Collaboration with Barcelona-based artist Pink Morro
EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND, Friday 3rd May 20, 2024, 12:00 pm: Online single-cask spirits bottler Caskshare has launched a trio of unique, one-of-a-kind single-cask whiskies featuring artwork by Spanish artist Pink Morro, all distilled in Sweden at Agitator Whiskymakare. This ballot has a very limited availability of only 100 successful entries.
The casks were chosen from a shortlist presented to Caskshare by Oskar Bruno, Master Distiller at Agitator, and represent the innovation ongoing at the cutting edge of his whisky making.
Agitator Whiskymakare operates two styles of stills, a set of High Reflux Stills and Low Reflux Stills, all of which use a vacuum distillation regime. Their whiskies are then matured in a wide range of unusual cask types, some using strategies not allowed in more traditional whisky-making regions such as Scotland, utilising techniques such as additionally inserted staves and chestnut wood. Vacuum distilling requires less energy, and is more sympathetic to the raw materials, with no Maillard reaction or toasted and burnt notes, resulting in a purer distillate, from the lower boiling point and lower heat stresses involved.
The CASKSHARE COLLECTIVE SERIES x PINK MORRO Trio
AG.18.03 is a Swedish Single Malt, matured in an ex-Oloroso Sherry cask, made from American oak and with additional oak staves inserted from additional wood to spirit contact. The spirit is unpeated, and is a combination of both high-reflux and low-reflux stills, resulting in a particularly balanced spirit.
AG.18.04 is an ex-Bourbon cask made from American oak, with additional chestnut staves inserted into the cask to provide both oak and chestnut characteristics to the spirit. Again the spirit is unpeated, and a combination of both the high-reflux and low-reflux stills, producing a balanced spirit with both clean fruity notes and heavier robust components.
AG.19.05 is an ex-Sauternes cask made from French oak. This is a Peated Swedish Single Malt Whisky distilled with a peat content of 40ppm. This spirit originates from Agitators’ High Reflux Stills, producing a light, clean, fruity spirit.
PINK MORRO
Pink Morro is the alter ego of Raúl Ramos, a Spanish anarchic punk artist and graphic designer based in Barcelona. He focuses his work on abstract pieces full of colour, techniques and materials. Each of the whiskies in this collection features a segment of the artwork “M011”.
To celebrate this collaboration each successful ballot entry comes with an individually hand-numbered 51.8cm x 51.8cm fine art giclée reproduction of this artwork on Hahnemühle German Etching paper.
“Each of these whiskies has been individually selected to highlight the innovation and quality coming from Agitator Whiskymakare. When we were offered the opportunity to work with artist Pink Morro, who encapsulates an abstract punk ethic that breaks with norms, we instantly felt we had found the perfect partnership.
David Nicol, Co-founder, Caskshare
