Taster
Nose: Complex aromas here: soft peat smoke, warming spices and dried fruits combining wonderfully together.
Palate: An initial burst of vanilla toffee sweetness, backed up with dried pineapple.
Finish: Sweet and smoky finish.
Comment: Einar was some warrior by all accounts and this namesake whisky is certainly not shy in coming forward in terms of bright, bold flavours.
Score: 8.4
