The Kuenz Naturbrennerei Rauchkofel Single Malt Whisky Sherry Cask Finished is an outstanding Austrian single malt whisky, lovingly handcrafted by the 12th generation at the Kuenzer Kienzhof in East Tyrol. With an alcohol content of 43 % vol. and a strictly limited edition of just 2,064 bottles, drawn from 7 carefully selected casks, this single malt ranks among Austria’s most exclusive whiskies.


The Rauchkofel is distilled twice in small copper stills using traditional methods. For maturation, first-fill Styrian oak casks are used, which lend the whisky its complex structure, delicate woody notes and harmonious depth. The subsequent finish in first-fill sherry casks rounds off the flavour profile with fruity sweetness and spicy elegance – a perfect finale for this expressive Alpine whisky.


The Rauchkofel Single Malt Whisky reflects its Alpine origins in every aspect – from the pure mountain air and clear spring water to the artisanal precision that has been cultivated at the Kuenz Naturbrennerei for generations.

Tasting Note

Colour: Cherry wood.

Nose: Sweet vanilla meets ripe plums, dark chocolates with orange filling, delicate toasted notes of oak, chestnuts and a hint of liquorice.

Finish: Long-lasting and elegant with subtle tobacco notes, warm spice and delicate sherry sweetness.

The Kuenz Rauchkofel Single Malt Sherry Cask Finished reveals its full range of aromas when enjoyed neat at room temperature or with a few drops of water to emphasise the fruity sherry notes.

An exceptional whisky that combines the Alpine distilling tradition with an international character – handcrafted, limited edition and of unmistakable depth.
