Spirit of Hven
Tasting Notes
A celestial delight hailing from the Swedish distillery Spirit of Hven, Hvenus Rye Whisky captivates the senses with its heavenly blend. Crafted from a harmonious mash bill of 78.6% rye, 11.9% wheat, 4.8% corn, and 4.8% grain, this whisky is a true celestial symphony. Matured for a minimum of six years in 42 American oak casks, Hvenus unveils an enchanting bouquet of vanilla, subtle pepper spiciness, freshly cut grass, and a hint of menthol. On the palate, it seamlessly intertwines smooth vanilla notes with dark berries, toffee, and malty undertones, culminating in rich dark chocolate and a sweet, floral lavender essence. The finish lingers with a return of mint, vanilla, and gentle sweet spices, leaving an ethereal trail of delight. Paying homage to the astrological theme, this whisky embodies the essence of Venus, the planet associated with copper – an essential element in the distillation process.
