| Review #526 |
From the
little Island Hven in Sweden, comes this single malt whisky. It is named after
Tycho Brahe and the supernova he discovered in 1572. Light sweet vanilla-peat
is the first thing that hits my nose. Then some citrus and honey.
Again, the
sweet peat is the first thing I notice in the taste. The citrusy notes is a bit
more calm here, and reminds me most of lemongrass. Apples. Crisp apples! The
finish gets a bit ‘darker’. Some oak and fruits comes forward.
It seems a
bit young, but that doesn’t work against this whisky. A bit simple perhaps, but
very flavourful. Especially in the taste and finish. Normally Spirit of Hven
bottlew their whiskies at a bit higher strength, and that would have suited
this whisky as well. I will give this 82/100 (20/21/21/20).
