Flóki Icelandic Single Malt Whisky, hailing from Iceland's Eimverk Distillery, is the country's first single malt whisky. Crafted with 100% Icelandic barley and aged for 3 years in ex-Flóki Young Malt barrels, it boasts a unique and complex flavor profile.

Description

Flóki Icelandic Single Malt Whisky presents a unique taste journey influenced by Iceland’s harsh climate and distinct barley. On the nose, you might encounter a surprising lightness, potentially offering hints of fresh hay and cereal grains. Look for subtle floral notes like heather, which can sometimes be accompanied by a touch of minerality, reflecting the volcanic Icelandic terroir.

As the whisky reaches your palate, expect a light to medium body. The young age keeps it from being overly oaky, but you might find hints of vanilla and cinnamon peeking through from the maturation process. The 100% Icelandic barley can introduce flavors of toasted malt and bread, sometimes complemented by a touch of honey sweetness. A gentle spiciness, like white pepper or ginger, might also appear, adding complexity.

The finish of Flóki is typically medium-length, lingering with a pleasant warmth. Depending on the batch, you might experience a return of the initial floral notes or a subtle smokiness, hinting at the island’s volcanic history. Overall, Flóki Icelandic Single Malt Whisky offers a refreshing and intriguing take on single malt whisky, perfect for adventurous palates and those seeking a taste of Iceland in every sip.
