Tasting Notes:
Bødalen is a rye-forward bourbon from Far North Spirits, crafted with estate-grown grains in Minnesota’s Red River Valley. The mash bill features 60% heirloom corn, 30% Hazlet winter rye, and 10% malt barley, yielding a bourbon with bold spice and northern character. On the nose, it opens with caramel, toasted oak, and rye spice accented by dried fruit. The palate is rich yet lively, showing notes of vanilla, toffee, candied orange peel, black pepper, and clove, with layers of grain-driven complexity. The finish is long and warming, leaving echoes of caramelized sugar, baking spice, and subtle herbal tones. A distinctive bourbon that bridges tradition with terroir-driven individuality.
