ABOUT THIS NORWEST-EURO EXPRESS SERIES BOTTLING
You wait years for the first batch from Finland’s Teerenpeli distillery, and then two turn up in in the last two series!
Our second batch is a 3 Year Old malt has had its full maturation in recoopered American oak ex-Bourbon hogshead, and comes across as lightly peated.
Malted barley is sourced from local company Viking Malt (Lathi), grown no more than 150km from the site. Casks are matured in 40 foot ex-reefer sea containers, which sit outside the distillery, with no heating or cooling. Outside temperatures vary wildly throughout the year, from -35C to +30C
Teerenpeli translates to ‘flirtation’ and also means ‘black grouse’. So we've made sure there’s a reference to both on the label. That’s Sales and Marketing Manager, Jari Mämmi, driving the Zamboni along the rows of shipping container businesses.
Nose
Charred lemons, peated malt, fresh grain and dried husk. Baked apple, green leaves, fruity toffee and peppery touches.
Palate
Light and clean, sweet muesli and pineapple cubes, charred wood smoke, and vanilla. Hint of grapefruit.

The original distillery started off within a restaurant, hence the stills in the back of ours. The Pelicans are a local ice hockey team, oh, and Jari is currently sporting a Mohawk - as are the black grouse.
