IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS

Hav – meaning 'sea' in Swedish – is a spicy, fruity Swedish single malt, with a delicate smokiness throughout, made with 25% peated whisky and 75% unpeated. Part of High Coast's Origins series, Hav explores the effects of different types of oak on new make spirit and has been matured in a combination of small, 40-litre virgin American oak, Hungarian oak and Swedish oak casks for at least three months, before spending a further six years in first-fill bourbon barrels.

Hav has soft aromas of delicate peat smoke, wrapped in warm spices and sweet caramel, while the palate offers notes of black pepper, fiery ginger, star anise, coriander seed and red chilli, balanced by smoky bacon and hints of sweet summer fruits.
