Old Hare Blended Swedish Whisky

Category: Swedish Whisky

Date Tasted:
Country: Sweden
Alcohol: 40.4%
Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of smoky underbrush, mesquite grilled cherries, rubber mallet, and old copper pipes with a satiny, lively, dry medium body and a tingling, elegant, medium-length finish that shows accents of cherry syrup on copper, smoked meat, grilled herbs and medium bodied tobacco, and smoky honey fruit and grains. Fascinating and complex flavors that make for a rich and interesting nose and palate.

About
Swedish Whisky
Whisky has only been produced in Sweden since 1999 when Macmyra first began distilling. Since then a handful of single malt producers have popped up in the country that previously had no tradition of making whisky. Inspired by Scotland's single malts but decidedly Swedish in grain selection and use of oak, these whiskys are an interesting drink to seek out.

Spirit of HVEN Old Hare Blended Swedish Whisky rating was calculated by to be 86 points out of 100 on 5/22/2023. Please note that MSRP may have changed since the date of our review.
