Spirit of Hven Tycho’s Star Swedish

Tycho's Star is distilled at Spirit of Hven distillery using a combination of both unpeated and heavily peated barley. The result is a big bold and fruity spirit with chocolate notes. The smoke is sweet and mineralic in the Islay style rather than the more herbaceous smoke of Mackmyra. The palate is nowhere near as fruity or sweet as the nose would suggest but packs fantastic spiced notes into the usual unripened banana and apple, there's a lingering red liquorice and berb finish. It's not superbly complex but it's a solid everyday whisky
