Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Warm golden amber with rich copper tones
Nose
Aromatic and smoky with a darker edge than Valkyrie. Heather honey, robust peat smoke, and dried fruit. Dark chocolate, cinnamon, and charred oak. Orange peel, vanilla, and a note of sea salt. The second release in the Viking Legend trilogy — darker and more assertive than Valkyrie
Palate
Medium-full body. Robust aromatic peat smoke, heather honey, and dried fruit. Dark chocolate, charred oak, and warming spice (cinnamon, black pepper). Orange peel, toffee, and gentle leather. More assertive and smoke-forward than Valkyrie, building intensity toward the trilogy's conclusion. Well-balanced despite the bolder character
Finish
Medium-long finish. Robust peat smoke and heather honey persist with dark chocolate, charred oak, and warming spice. A more intense, darker finish than Valkyrie — the trilogy building momentum
