Spirit of Hven, Seven Stars Single Malt Whisky, is a series of seven single malt whiskies that are released throughout seven years from the distillery in limited edition. The distillery has also released single cask whiskies such as Sankt Ibb and Sankt Claus, which you might find in collector stores around the world. The whisky named Tycho´s Star as a tribute to the most famous Hven islander yet, the astronomer Tycho Brahe (1546-1601). The whisky has dark, almost mystical notes of leather and liquorice, embraced by a round scent of ripe plums. All this is elevated and refreshed by fragnance of apple and elderflowers. Newly harvested hay and honeydew meadows give a soft finish. The name Tycho´s Star refers to the supernova that Tycho Brahe observed in the asterism Cassiopeia 1572. He called it “De Nova Stella” and made a term of the expression Nova, that nowadays are used to describe new stars.
