Floki is indeed unique. It’s not everyday you get to have a dram from Iceland. Being honest though, it’s not everyday you’d want one. The nose is interesting, offering a very nature driven profile. It’s ripe with sappy and herbal tones immediately present. You’ll find honey and a deep molasses at the center. The bow wrapped around it all is leaves, forest and wet saw dust. Floki carries and extremely light palate with varnished wood and a clean rinse on the tongue. It’s there and it’s gone. That’s probably due to its very young age of 9 months. On the exit, you’ll find some vigor in the form of belly heat returning a few seconds after swallowing. This dram is a one and done. There isn’t any real reason to go back to it. Try it if you have the chance, hang you hat, then move on. (OoTB January)
