High Coast Hav - Oak Spice
Part of High Coast's Origins series, Hav, which translates to 'sea' in Swedish, is a slightly peated single malt. Nicknamed Oak Spice, the whisky is made up of 20% peated and 80% non-peated whisky, and was matured in both Hungarian and Swedish oak casks as well as bourbon barrels. In 2019, the liquid was bottled at 48% ABV, and the rich, spicy whisky certainly lives up to its name. Great stuff from those High Coast folks.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
The first thing you notice is spicy malt notes, then comes the fruit - candied orange peel and raspberries. Dark chocolate, dried grass and cinnamon flavours emerge and are then followed by a little marzipan.
Palate
A little cracked black pepper flickers through a rounded and full-bodied palate, which carries plenty of thick caramel, tropical fruit and vanilla cookies.
Finish
A hint of citrus fruit, brown sugar and earthy florals remain.
