FAR NORTH SPIRITS “BODALEN” BOURBON WHISKEY

Every bottle is numbered by hand. Aged in Minnesota-made oak barrels for 18 months. Bodalen is named for an idyllic Norwegian valley on the edge of a massive glacier. The mash bill is 60% heirloom corn, 35% Hazlet rye, and 5% malt barley.

• Nose offers aromas of toffee, sweet corn, and orange zest. The entry is both peppery and vegetal, with a woodsy depth. The finish is surprisingly long, rich, and persistent with notes of bitter chocolate and brown sugar.
