Hammerhead 28-Year-Old Czech Single Malt Whisky

Set to age in new Czech oak barrels in 1989, the collapse of the Soviet Union soon after allowed them to be forgotten. That is until 2007, when staff of London-based Stock Spirits – operating the distillery on behalf American hedge fund Oaktree Capital Management that had just acquired it – found thousands of these barrels still aging, according to a 2013 Associated Press report. Although not explicitly stated, it seems that Stock Spirits is releasing a limited number of barrels annually, with the latest apparently a 28-year-old out of cask 376, according to a detailed product sheet from distributor Glass Revolutions Imports. This batch was bottled at cask strength (51% ABV) with only 300 750mL bottles making their way to the United States.
