Bødalen is named for an idyllic Norwegian valley on the edge of a massive glacier. The mash bill is 60% heirloom corn, 30% Hazlet rye and 10% malt barley.
TASTING NOTES | 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.
