Flóki Young Malt Sheep Dung Smoked Reserve

Evokes: sitting on a hay bale, under a birch tree, watching the rain drop from the branches. I was quite scared to try this after seeing the reviews, but we bought it at duty free in Reykjavik, so I had to give it a go, one way or another. Honestly pleasantly surprised. It’s incredibly soft - no burn, which I usually hate- and while it does taste of wet alfalfa hay, I get a lot of birch tree, sweetness, with a sort of clove/nutmeg spice on the end.

Smells like sheep, weird spices

The barley is very distinct

Tastes like wool

Nose is (can't believe I'm writing this) beef jerky, palate is an odd array of baking spices, smoke, oak and bbq sauce (KC style specifically)
