Description

Up-and-coming Norwegian craft distillery Hiernagla has released its second single malt! The second of five special releases, Hiernagla Torfæus is named after Thormod Torfæus, a 17th-century Icelandic historian and translator who lived most of his life near where the Hiernagla distillery is located. The lightly peated whisky matured in ex-bourbon barrels, virgin American oak casks, ex-Pedro Ximénez sherry barriques and a single ex-Pineau des Charentes barrique. It was bottled in 2024 at 54%. Just 1980 individually numbered bottles have been released.

Nose
Begins with the rich scent of artisanal sourdough bread, featuring a slightly burnt yet savory and crispy crust. It carries a malty backbone with a sooty streak. As it unfolds, it softens into lighter notes of creamy vanilla, black pepper, almonds, and homemade caramel pudding.
Palate
Super smooth and full-bodied, this whisky opens with a spicy introduction, marked by wisps of peppery smoke. It evolves to include soot and wood smoke, beautifully balanced by creamy vanilla and decadently rich caramel.
Finish
Medium-long, where the initially subtle sweet fruitiness gradually becomes more prominent, emerging as the earthy wood smoke fades. It concludes with a fresh whiff of green herbs, just crossing the finish line.
