Taste note

  • Colour:

    Gold

  • Nose:

    A closed nose at first, but soon opens out revealing sweet, darker autumn fruits like fresh and ripe oranges and pineapples, also come caramel and vanilla and rich peat smoke.

  • Palate:

    Smooth going spiced fairly quickly then settling back down to dark brown sugar and winter Christmas cake fruits. Lovely citrus notes. Just a tickle of smoke from the peat, but fairly restrained. Light enough mouthfeel, something also slightly vanilla and crème brûlée.

  • Finish:

    Sweet, warming, fruity and medium in length with smoke and peppery notes in the end.

  • Conclusion:

    Einar was crafted as a tribute to one of the most feared and ruthless Vikings of his time. Einar was a hard and successful Viking, often venturing on treacherous long voyages. Unfortunately this doesn't come back in its whisky.
