Agitator goes where others have never gone. Because who has heard of a whole rye whiskey dipped in maple syrup barrels? This is what the daring experiment tastes like.

Imagine a distillery with a focus on developing new flavours rather than sticking to traditional methods, with a preference for progress rather than looking back. Agitator Whisky has an ambitious vision; with new technology, sound knowledge and a desire to experiment, this Swedish distillery wants to take whisky-making into the future.

Evidens will prove that Agitator is absolutely right that whisky should be put into oak casks at a lower strength than the usual 63.5%, as the Scots do. Following the Japanese model, the spirit should be at 55%, no more and no less, when it begins the maturation process with the oak.

Tomorrow's Table spoke to Oskar Bruno, Distillery Manager at Agitator, to find out how modern technology can bring out new flavours and how to achieve the lofty goal of producing the perfect whisky.

David Kringlund visits the distillery and gets a thorough overview of the entire production process - from the mill to the chestnut barrel. His guide through all the details is distillery manager Oskar Bruno.

Allt om Whisky visited Agitator and had a chat with our distillery manager Oskar Bruno. He tells us about Agitator's rebellious approach to whisky making and about our Single Malt Whisky that was launched at Systembolaget in November 2021.

The management of an operating distillery can be handled manually - by someone walking around opening, closing, turning on and off, measuring and checking. The alternative is to automate and let the machines do some of the work. We have chosen the latter. Here we explain why we think it gives us an advantage.

At Agitator, the spirit is distilled in a vacuum. We are almost alone in doing this among the world's malt whisky distilleries. But how is it done, and what is the result?
We'll explain at two levels: The simple layman's explanation, and the more detailed version, for all those that are fond of details.

In the American video podcast "A Sip Of Knowledge", Agitator's distillery manager Oskar Bruno talks about vacuum distillation, double sets of boilers, our aging strategy, and much more of what makes Agitator's whisky so unique.
