Gutesaga Tjelvar
ISLE OF LIME TJELVAR
In Boge, in northeast Gotland is Tjelvar's grave, a shipwreck erected during the latter part of the Bronze Age.
According to the Gutasagan, it was here that Tjelvar, the first human on Gotland, stepped ashore. Then Gotland was so enchanted that it sank into the sea in days to get up again at night.
When Tjelvar came, he brought fire with him, which broke the spell and the island stopped sinking.
The reality behind the tale is disputed, but this oak-aged whisky is based on a real legacy from our previous releases and the beginning of a new story.
