SØRENSEN Irish Whiskey

SØRENSEN Irish Whiskey is one of the flavored house blends from Sørensen Tobakk in Bergen. Naturally sweet Virginia is combined with Burley, with an Irish whisky flavoring applied in measured amounts; the product is sold as a loose cut in a 50-gram tin.

On the retailer's scale, aroma intensity is rated two out of five and strength three out of five — that is, a medium-bodied aromatic where the casing doesn't overpower the tobacco. Burley's nutty base and Virginia's sweetness run beneath the whisky note. It suits smokers who find heavily sugared aromatics excessive but aren't ready to go fully unflavored either.
