Bivrost Muspelheim (50cl, 46.00%)

Bivrost Muspelheim is a single malt whisky from Aurora Spirit (Norway). Bottled at 46.00% ABV, 50cl. Matured in bourbon, ex-Islay whisky & octave casks. Muspelheim was the third, and first of the 2021 releases of Bivrost single malt. The whisky is marriage of the distillery's peated and non-peated spirit, all distilled in 2017. The casks used were ex-Islay single malt barrels, ex-bourbon quarter casks and some smaller octave casks. Muspelheim has been distilled using a wash of pilsner malt and Scottish peated malt (55ppm), created with water sourced from the distillery's local spring, which receives melted glacier water from the Lyngen alpine range. The world's most northerly whisky producer, located far within the Arctic Circle near the town of Lyngseidet in Norway. Established in 2013, it was built within a disused NATO Cold War base, and the maturation of its whisky takes place within its network of underground tunnels.
