The story
Valhalla is presented on the market as part of the Koskenkorva-branded range and is distributed by companies related to Altia/Arcus. Commercial datasheets and distributors indicate the product was created to express a 'Nordic' character based on herbs typical of cold climates.
Production philosophy
The product is described as inspired by Norse mythology and Arctic vegetation: the commercial idea is to emphasize a mix of botanicals resilient to harsh climates to achieve a bold, distinctive liqueur.
Territory
Finland (product within the Koskenkorva range; production references indicate the locality of Ilmajoki/Koskenkorva and the company Altia as linked to production/distribution).
Production method
Based on a Koskenkorva neutral grain spirit and subsequently flavored with a blend of herbs and spices; available descriptions suggest the use of botanical blends (maceration/infusion in neutral spirit) to obtain the aromatic profile.
