Münsterländer Lagerkorn V.S.O.P.

Lagerkorn was born in 1987, when Rüdiger Sasse found a bottle of Korn distilled by his great-grandfather. For the V.S.O.P., Feinbrennerei Sasse distils a combination of malt and grain from the region by hand in its traditional ‘Geniale Becker’ process, matures it at least four years in barriques that previously held cognac, and marries spirits from up to 50 barriques of three age categories. Sasse calls it the first and only German Kornbrand aged long enough to carry the V.S.O.P. grade. A complex, elegant structure with fine cognac notes, warm wood aromas and the characteristic Münsterland mildness. 32 % vol, 0.5 l.
