Nose: fresh wood just split, piles of new and old leaves, wood varnish, and hardware store. Smell is off putting at first, but it gets pleasant the longer I nose it.
Palate: Very fresh wood, pumpkins (just carved), squash. Some vanilla, dead leaves, and green leaves.
Smooth, it doesn't taste young. This whisky tells a story with it being the first edition and one that's seasoning the barrels for other whiskies to come. I've never had anything like it. I won't rate it due to its nature.

Thanks! My buddy purchased this while visiting Iceland, so nostalgia softened the price tag.
Excellent review. I visited Eimverk distillery last week and was really impressed by their dedication and craftsmanship. Their first Single Malt will be released this year, and I am wondering how it will taste. My main concern with Flóki is value for money: this yong malt costs more than a Lagavulin 16, so unless Eimverk manages to cut their costs by at least 50%, this malt will never manage to become widely available...
