WOB 24 Karat: Wolfram Ortner’s jewel for 25th Anniversary
25 years of the distillery inspired Wolfram Ortner to a star-studded creation: WOB 24 Karat. The ten best vintages were selected for the shimmering symphony of an Apple-Barrique Blend of the last 25 years.
The concept of „apple & wood“ has been further developed over the years – the basis is select apple varieties from the Lavant Valley (Eastern Carinthia, Austria) which are fermented and distilled during the entire harvest season and thus result in a special cuvée. The distillates are aged and stored in barriques made of French Limousin oakwood.
The blend WOB 24 Karat is a powerful fruit and wood composition with tremendous tightness and sheer endless length. Attractive apple aromas combine harmoniously with delicate extract sweetness and fine roast aromas and a mixture of coffee, leather and vanilla. And the extravagant presentation increases the value of this „highly spiritual object“ further.
