Carpathian Single Malt

Since 2017, deep in the Subcarpathian hills, our distillery has quietly perfected the maturation process. Behind our whiskies stands Allan Anderson, a Scottish master distiller with over 29 years of experience in producing Scottish and Irish whiskey.

Then, I realized that this is yet another wild and untamed part of the world, perfect for creating Carpathian Single Malt, just as my Scottish ancestors did many centuries ago, in the mountains of Scotland…
