Valhalla Collection Thor Whisky
- Appearance: Rich amber, with an iron ore glow
- Nose: Concentrated and forceful, with an explosion of aromatic smoke, pungent fresh ginger, antique copper, stewed plums, and golden syrup. With water, earthy notes emerge, like a garden after a heavy rain shower.
- Palate: Thor’s high strength grabs the palate and refuses to let go. Initially dry, with fiery gingerbread then vanilla, blackberries, fresh mango, peach and hints of cinnamon. As its big flavors swirl around the mouth, some softer, sweeter notes develop, giving Thor and unexpected layer of complexity and depth.
- Finish: The finish thunders on, leaving behind lingering notes of sweet vanilla and an intense spiciness.
