Pfanner Classic Single Malt Whisky is an Austrian single malt whisky from the long-established Pfanner distillery in Vorarlberg. In its production, the distillery draws on influences from the Scottish and Irish whisky traditions, combining these with regional distilling expertise. As a single malt, the whisky is made from malted barley and is characterised by the use of mountain spring water. After distillation, the whisky is given ample time to develop: it matures for a total of five years in selected oak casks. The deliberate use of various selected oak casks helps to achieve a balanced style and lends the spirit additional structure and maturity.


At 43 per cent ABV in a 0.7-litre bottle, complete with a gift box, the Pfanner Classic Single Malt presents itself as a classic example of Austrian whisky. The five-year cask maturation is at the heart of this bottling, blending the malty base with the influences of the oak. Pfanner looks back on a long tradition in the production of spirits and applies its expertise to the production of whisky as well. The combination of single malt, mountain spring water, five years’ maturation in oak casks and Austrian origins gives this bottling its distinctive character. This makes Pfanner Classic ideal both as an introduction to the world of Austrian single malts and for whisky enthusiasts who wish to discover bottlings from regions other than the traditional Scottish and Irish origins.
