One of my favorite non-Scottish distilleries is from Sweden ( Smogen), so I figured why not give a try to another Swede. This one is a blend of casks from 8 to 13yr of age, finished first in oloroso and PX sherry cask, and then cask that previously held cloudberry wine. Cloudberries look like orange blackberries, but grow in boreal forest and arctic tundra. I’ve had some in Norway ages ago, and thought it was delicious—a cross between raspberry and currents, almost sweet-tart.
The nose on this is amazing. Like smelling strawberry cream. Nose alone is a 5 out of 5 stars. The palette...a bit strange. Bitter, salty, a hint of smoke.
Interesting to try, but glad I had only a 3cl pour, and not a full bottle.

@Slainte-Mhath I loved those berries—had it for the first time in Lofoten. Really unique.
@PBMichiganWolverine I think the Norwegian name of that berry is molte, or multebær.
