I’m a big fan of peated malt whisky, so when I heard a newer distillery was doing it and in a novel way I was quite excited to try it.
Minutia: A single malt whisky from Sweden made with peated barley. Juniper twigs are also burned in the kilning process imparting their unique characteristics along with the peat. Enjoyed neat in a glencairn
Color: Amber, 0.7.
Nose: Sweet then smoky. Indiscriminate fruit. Juniper. Herbal.
Taste: Light. Apple, smoke, spice. A gin-like feel to the flavor.
Finish: Malty, a bit smoky/ham-like. Medium.
A neat experiment I hope encourages others to try similar. This is a solid dram with enough flavor while also being quite light. While some whiskies lend themselves better to warmer or cooler seasons, I think this one would have a place in any of them.
Score: 84
Musical Evocation: Sörskogen – “Mordet I Grottan”
