Description
ATHYR, an enigmatic elixir, draws its name from the profound and uncharted depths of the Arabic word “أثير”. Within this vessel, liquid elegance finds its truest form. Like the shimmering radiance of a drawn sword, ATHYR embodies an ethereal realm of exclusivity and celestial grace.
In the quiet embrace of the Lebanese village of Khenchara, ATHYR is born. Crafted from sun-dried Lebanese malted barley, this exquisite spirit undergoes a delicate dance of fermentation and distillation in a century-old copper pot still. Its soul finds refuge in the warm embrace of Lebanese oak (Quercus libani), lovingly nurtured in the village, imparting a distinctive and intricate character to the whisky.
Among the celebrated Double Aged Series, we present the “OAK & VINE” This long-awaited revelation begins its journey in clay amphorae, where it rests for 6 years alongside cured Lebanese oak branches, absorbing their rich and complex essence. It then embarks on an additional 3-year voyage in oak barrels that once cradled our finest Cabernet Sauvignon wine. Captured at cask strength, ATHYR awaits the gentle hand that will uncork its secrets.
ATHYR reveals itself with an enchanting amber glow, beckoning you into a poetic symphony of aromas. Let your senses meander through a landscape of black tea, dried fruits, raisins, fresh blackberries, baking spices, musk, carob molasses, roasted coffee, walnuts, incense, and toffee. The deep, soulful embrace of Lebanese oak lingers like a cherished memory, long after the final sip has been savored.
