Bought a bottle of their distillery version 3 yr old smoked version. Smoke is really different than anything from Islay or even anywhere else. Earthy, grassy. Extra 0.5 for the Iceland experience

@jonwilkinson7309 you’re not missing much. The Floki is easily outshined by all the other stuff in Iceland 😊
Damn! I was in Iceland in mid-July, but decided to pass on the Floki at the duty free shop in favor of filling my quota with fantastically inexpensive Compass Box. Next time...
@PBMichiganWolverine - wow, wasn’t expecting that. Thanks!
@Rick_M the distillery is one of those that “I have a 1/2 hour to kill”. There’s a million other places. You gotta go see : South Iceland: 1) Skogafoss ( if you’re a GoT fan, this is the waterfall where Jon and Dany had their romantic moment ) 2) ice caves in Katla or Vatnajokull 3) Gullfoss 4) Blue Lagoon 5) Pingvellir national park Skip Geysir ...Yellowstone’s is more impressive North Iceland around Akureyri: 1) Dettifoss ( can’t miss waterfall—most powerful in Europe ) 2) Hverir mud steams 3) Mývatn hot baths West Iceland 1) fjords of Westfjords 2) Snaefelnes national park
@PBMichiganWolverine - Iceland is on our bucket list for a round of midnight golf. Any other highlights you’d recommend besides the distillery?
@BeppeCovfefe @Soba45 it was relatively pricey too. Wondering if that’s because of the manpower required to go out and collect all that dung scattered across the mountains !
Should have bought some of the dried dung, rolled it up with the finest cuban cigar tobacco, put your slippers on and kicked back with a dung whiskey and cigar at home :-)
It's good to know that sheep dung is finally getting it's well deserved kudos and recognition in the history of single malt... are we still talking about whisky here?
@1901 out of the three I tasted ( standard 3 yr old, double barrel 3 yr old, and the smoked), this sheep shit smoked one was the best.
@Slainte-Mhath unfortunately I couldn’t do the distillery tour...there’s no way the kids or the wife would do that. So, was just a simple distillery visit
@PBMichiganWolverine - You’ve gotta be $hiting me! :)
Pretty unique! Dung smoke wasn't as off-putting as it sounds, obviously ?
@PBMichiganWolverine I hope you had a great tour at Eimverk Distillery!
