What Would Thor Drink?
Thurso, Caithness. The far north. A place where Vikings once sailed in looking for adventure, where the town's name comes from "Thorsa" (Old Norse for Thor's River), and where we make an award-winning 58% single malt called Langskip.
Langskip means "longship" in Old Norse. That's not accidental.
Here's what most people get wrong about 58% ABV: they assume it means harsh. It doesn't. When it's made right, with first-fill bourbon casks and proper craft, 58% means flavour. It means sweetness. It means depth.
We just wrote a full story about why this wh**ky exists, why it's called what it is, and what the Vikings have to do with any of it.
Read the full piece below. You might discover something you didn't expect about what 58% can be.
