Thy 9 Years Old 2016 Danish Single Malt The Auld and the Bold

Thy is produced on an eighth-generation family farm on Jutland’s windswept coast. The Gyrup family follows a “grain first” philosophy, crafting whiskies from barley, spelt, and rye - all grown on site using organic farming practices. Every drop is malted, mashed, and distilled on the family's estate.

This single malt was distilled in 2016 from peated Odyssey barley and matured for 9 years in an ex-bourbon barrel, followed by a short finishing period in an ex-oloroso hogshead. The nose opens with dried apricot, orange peel, chocolate, and fruit-salad sweets, all threaded with gentle, aromatic smoke. That soft smokiness carries onto an unctuous palate, layered with roasted herbs, savoury meat notes, and vanilla-caramel sweetness. The finish unfurls slowly, beginning with a soft wash of caramel before deeper notes of toasted oak emerge.

Bottled without chill-filtration or artificial colouring by Berry Bros. & Rudd for their The Auld and the Bold Collection.
