About this release

An exceptional Akevitt Lambic from Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen from Beersel, Belgium, aged in three aquavit casks from Atlungstad, the oldest still active Norwegian distillery. The casks have contained PX sherry for more than fifty years and aquavit for more than ten years, which creates a profound flavor profile. The lambic blend has aged for more than 13 months in these casks and has a weighted average age of more than 33 months at bottling. 3 Fonteinen is a worldwide respected producer of traditional lambic and gueuze. The brewers are masters in the process of spontaneous fermentation and the blending of lambics of different ages, resulting in beers with exceptional depth and complexity. This artisanal craftsmanship is also evident in this cask series. With an alcohol content of 7.6 percent, this lambic presents itself as a complex, dry and aromatic beer. The aging in the Norwegian aquavit casks has enriched the classic character of traditional lambic with notes of sherry, spices and the typical sharpness of aquavit. The result is a refined combination in which the warm fruitiness of the lambic pleasantly contrasts with the spicy dry notes of the aquavit.
