Taste note

  • Colour:

    Full gold with slightly rusty copper hues.

  • Nose:

    Give it some time in the glass and gentle soft autumn fruits will greet you, aromatic peat smoke with burned wood and charred pineapple comes to mind. With fresh lemon peel, vanilla, Caramel and cinnamon. Slight hint of lavender.

  • Palate:

    A fuller, more oily mouthfeel greets you introducing smooth and creamy fruits as if they’ve been stewed and covered in vanilla custard, with nutmeg over the top to spice it up a touch. Inviting with a hint of peat smoke.

  • Finish:

    Smooth and oily, but something in there keeping you refreshed. Sweet and decadent, yet balanced and not deeply into the winter fruits. aromatic peat smoke and lingering raisins and vanilla.

  • Conclusion:

    A much more soothing and fine dram here, starting to be reflected in the price. It’s got more going on, but feels more relaxed and competent. The last three & most recent offerings in the ‘Warrior’ series use an increased quantity of European oak sherry seasoned casks. This allows Sigurd, Ragnvald & Thorfinn to deliver more complex, richer and sweeter flavours.
    Sigurd is considered amongst the strongest & most courageous warriors and ultimately one of the most feared Viking Earls.
