This bottling of an unaged whisky is the 5th release from the Aurora Spirit distillery in Norway under the name Asgard. The whisky was distilled in 2018, matured in ex-bourbon and ex-Moscatel casks and was bottled in 2022 with 3102 individually numbered bottles.
Aurora Spirit is a distillery far inside the Arctic Circle near the town of Lyngseidet in Norway. It was built in a disused NATO base from 2013 and is the northernmost distillery in the world. The whisky is matured in an underground network of tunnels and they plan to launch a permanent standard bottling from around 2025. Until then, there will be a series of limited releases based on the nine worlds of Norse mythology.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
