DET NORSKE BRENNERI AS
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!”

Nose
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.
Finish
Medium long finish. Greener still now, but it retains the rich and somewhat spicy fruitiness.
