Iceland’s national spirit is BrennivÃn. Its potency has earned it the nickname ‘black death’. It is a type of schnapps distilled from potato mash and caraway seeds and well known for washing down the taste of the putrefied-shark dish, hákarl. This spirit is only brewed in Iceland and only in one distillery! Imagine then my relief when I read that Iceland also has a booming craft distillery culture!
Nose:

Genever-like in terms of mouthfeel thanks to the barley base spirit, with lots of caraway intenseness.

Fresh and spicy during the long finish.
