Drakkar

The Drakkar, a type of Viking longship, symbolised mighty Norse rule and power. Historically, a longship’s prow would feature a figurehead carving of a fearsome beast – usually a serpent-like dragon – to protect the vessel and crew in battle and ward off the terrible sea monsters of Norse mythology.

Released in 2012 and matured in first-fill sherry seasoned American and European casks, Drakkar shows itself to have a character as bold as the warship it celebrates: Cherry blossoms explode in a fog of peat smoke, flanked by zest and citrus, launching a glorious advance on the senses.
