Spirit of Hven Seven Stars No.2 Merak 50cl Whisky
Spirit of Hven Seven Stars No.2 Merak
The second limited edition Swedish single malt whisky from the Spirit of Hven distillery, who plan to release five more whiskies in the Seven Stars series over the next five years. This expression is called Merak, named after one of the stars in Ursa Major constellation (AKA - the Big Dipper / AKA - the Plough).
To create this single malt, Spirit of Hven used a mix of American, French and Spanish oak casks to mature their Organic certified spirit. Only 25 casks were blended together, after which it was bottled by hand with no chill-filtration and numbered.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Candy apple and red fruit sweetness, followed by dark cherries, ginger and creamy vanilla. A drop of water unlocks some peaty smoke deep within.
Palate
Spiced up front, crushed black pepper and cinnamon joined by oily barley. It slowly turns sweet and juicy with a hint of citrus peels.
Finish
Smoke lasts and lasts on the finish.
Overall
A shining star of a dram, bright and warming. It certainly lives up to the high standards set by the Dubhe.
