The “Old Bear” is a tribute to Jakob Baumberger who founded the Langatun Distillery. The whisky is brewed and distilled in the same way as the “Old Deer” but with peated barley malt, that’s why it is called “smoky”.

The “Old Bear” is aged in oak casks previously used for the maturation of French red wine from the Chateauneuf-du-Pape area, a massive dark red wine. The elements of this wine can be detected in the “Old Bear”: an intense auburn colour, nice flavours of wood and peat and the typical malty aroma with a slight touch of the taste of wine.
