🍯 Somel Double Cask Honey Spirit is a Georgian honey spirit made from pure mountain honey and matured in selected casks that previously held Armagnac and Cognac. Bottled at 43% ABV, this 500 ml expression brings a distinctive ingredient to the world of oak-matured spirits. Its natural golden colour and substantial rectangular glass bottle are complemented by a dark gift box decorated with a golden honeycomb design.
⚗️ Produced and bottled in Georgia by Caucasus Spirits, Somel begins with honey rather than grapes or grain. Distillation takes place in a MÜLLER AROMAT pot still, and the spirit is crafted without additives. This approach keeps the honey base at the centre of the experience while creating room for the influence of the selected maturation casks. It is an interesting introduction to a different side of Georgian distilling.
🪵 Double Cask combines the character of honey distillation with oak previously used for two established French spirits: Armagnac and Cognac. Floral honey aromas are joined by fresh-fruit notes, cinnamon and citrus. These contrasting elements give the expression an aromatic identity of its own, bringing together floral, fruity and gently spiced impressions without losing its connection to the original honey ingredient.
🥃 For a first tasting, try Somel Double Cask Honey Spirit a small neat pour at room temperature and allow a little time in the glass. If you wish, compare it with a few drops of water to explore how the aromas develop; this is a serving suggestion, not a required preparation. The bottle and matching box also make a considered gift for an adult who enjoys discovering Georgian craft spirits. 🎁
🏆 Somel Honey Spirit Double Cask received a Silver medal and 90 points in the IWSC 2026 results. The recognition belongs to this Double Cask expression, complementing its individual combination of Georgian mountain honey and selected ex-Armagnac and Cognac casks.
