Master distiller Henric Molin created this rye at the Spirit of Hven Distillery in Sweden. Molin's mash bill consists of 78.6% rye, 11.9% wheat, 4.8% corn, and 4.8% other grain. The fermentation period is divided, with half the batch fermenting for 96 hours and the other half for 168 hours. It undergoes double distillation and ages for a minimum of 3 years in new American oak barrels that have been heavily charred. Each bottling combines 42 casks to achieve the final product. The whisky is not chill-filtered, and no color or sugar is added. It has been available in the US since the summer of 2019.

Sweet with a slight perfume note (similar to the standard Four Roses bottle), floral and summery, with some general bourbon characteristics. On the palate, there's oak, that same perfumy note again, vanilla, a very sweet and candy-like taste, with a long-lasting oaky finish.
To someone accustomed to American Rye, this Swedish curiosity initially seemed rough but soon became appealing. It's complex and challenging, not something I would suggest to individuals new to high-proof liquor.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
