Eikthyrnir the hart is called,
that stands o’er Odin’s hall,
and bits from Laerad’s branches;
from his horns
fall drops into Hvergelmir,

METHOD & MATURATION:
Traditional double distillation, stored in mainly French oak barrels.

MENU MENU

Nose

Sugary sweet sherry notes. Hints of something sour or bitter - is this the kveik influence - I believe it is. Then warm and inviting sweetness. Almost a little bourbon like on the nose.

Taste

Full bodied. Again rather sweet sherry notes. Creamy vanilla, earthy cinnamon. Malty with tropical fruits in the background.

Finish

Medium long finish. Hints of oakiness now. Not a whole lot of development.

“Love this whole experimental series. I was a little surprised that Jon Bertelsen (the master distiller at Det Norske Brenneri) chose to use small sherry casks that are this active. To me they seem to mask some of the influences of the malt and the kveik that Jon really wanted to showcase. I am sure he has a plan, so we shall just have to wait and see what happens next year!”

MENU MENU
Nose
A warm hug of a nose (bear with me, please). Warm apple pie with cinnamon, white pepper and honey. Hints of toasted oak, strawberries and mixed fresh herbs.

Taste
Rich and full bodied mouthfeel. Quite spicy and complex. A full symphony of flavors straight off → peppers, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, fennel, thyme and mint. There is a fruity base of orchard fruits as well.

Finish
Medium long finish. Spicy all the way. Tending towards dry in character. More green notes towards the end.

MENU MENU
Nose
Delightful, light and very approachable. Playful sweetness with marshmallows, icing sugar, and homemade caramel pudding. There's a hint of a bicycle tire repair kit way in the back, but it works as an added spice.

Taste
Very rich and fullbodied. Spicy and fruity in character. There is an unusually deep base of spices, way down low. Maybe more like a bass than a base. On top I find notes of assorted berries, vanilla and light caramel sauce.

Finish
Medium to long finish. Continues much as it started. Perhaps a little sweeter, with notes of honey now.

The name Quadruple does not indicate quadruple distilled but rather that is has been matured in four different cask types. The cask types used this time around are American virgin oak (225 L), Bloodtub Oloroso cask (40 L), ex-brandy cask (300 L), and finally Jerez de la Frontera PX butt (500 L). The difference from batch I is the type of PX cask, as the batch I used a PX cask from Montilla-Moriles.

Mild chocolate, rich caramel, dried fruits. Hints of cut grass. With time a soft oakiness. Very balanced, soft and appealing nose.

Taste

Very rich and complex. Cool, with a sugary sweetness. Dried fruits, mild spices and hints of mint.
