“Nose: Light and elegant nose. White and black pepper, cinnamon and vanilla. Lots of fruits, both dried fruits and fresh tropical fruits. Mild oakiness as a “spice”. With time nuts and honey as well. It comes across as well balanced and older than it is. Taste: Medium body. Leaning towards the spicy side - still with black pepper as the main component. Balanced out with fruitiness (although less so than on the nose) and medium sweetness. Dry in character. It does seem to hold back somewhat. It is a bit restrained - like it wants to reveal more but does not quite get there. Finish: Medium to short finish. More caramel, oak and vanilla now. Relatively short finish, but that is to be expected. Comment: Great nose, mature beyond its years. Highly drinkable for a 3 YO.”

Description

Bivrost Niflheim is a single malt all the way from Arctic Norway, distilled at the foot of the Lyngen Alps at the world's northernmost distillery! Produced using Nordic barley, the spirit is distilled three times and matured in a combination of sherry, bourbon and virgin oak casks. The casks themselves rest in underground storage vault, which were previously part of a network of tunnels in a Cold War NATO base. Impressive stuff - and we're excited to see what comes next!

Nose

Honeycomb and crisp pear, with a hint of coconut ice.

Palate

Festive spices and orange oil, plus a few wafts of toasted cedar.

Finish

Subtly earthy with barley and oak, though chocolate sweetness persists.

Needs a few (many? years

Unfortunately way too young, sorry. Was difficult to even finish the glass I bought. Glad I was not one of the 'lucky ones' to get a whole bottle.
