Spirit of Hven 7 Stars No.1 Dubhe Single Malt Whisky

On the island of Hven located in the strait of Öresund between Denmark and Sweden lies the Spirit of Hven Distillery. Founded in 2008, this family owned distillery became the third pot still distillery ever to be built in Sweden and is one of the world’s smallest commercial pot distilleries.

Although Hven only covers an area of 3 square miles and has a population of around 350 inhabitants; from this remarkable island comes some of the highest quality handcrafted spirits produced. Spirit of Hven produces a diverse range of oak matured, organic distillates, described as “Taste & Scent with Sustainability”.

A medium peated single malt whisky, created from barley to bottle in a small family owned distillery situated on the island of Hven in the strait between Denmark and Sweden.

Tasting Notes: First impressions are roasted coffee, dark chocolate, leather and almonds. After a few moments, the scents of old-fashioned root cellar, ripe apples, saturated aged wood and weak phenols evolves together with sweet wine and vanilla from maturation.

The taste is sweet with some acidity. The after-taste is slightly shorter with water but in return, it will lure the scents of a blooming summer meadow, with a slight note of leather in the horizon. Mouth feel is warm and soft without edges.
