That's Neat – A Whiskey Podcast

Deep in the Sub-Carpathian hills, a distiller has been quietly maturing the first Romanian single malt whisky, since 2017. To make the Carpathian Single Malt a reality, the Alexandrion Group needed a master distiller: an artist and a craftsman who could use this land's flavored malt, blend it with the pure sub-Carpathian waters and use his skill, knowledge and decades of experience to nurture this unique single malt experience. Such a man is Allan Anderson, a master distiller with Scottish and Irish heritage and 30 years of experience in producing both Scotch whisky and Irish whisky.The combination of Scottish know-how, Romanian malt, pure Sub-Carpathian water and superb wine barrels, make Romania a perfect country to produce this high-quality single malt, that single malt aficionados will soon discover.
