About Aurora

In the High Coast, the light changes with the seasons. From the long, light nights of summer to the darkness of winter and the colours of the Northern Lights across the sky. It is here that Aurora draws its name and inspiration from the silence of nature.

Aurora is crafted to capture the character of the High Coast in an accessible and flavourful expression. The fruitiness of our distillate meets the sweetness of the casks in a balanced Swedish single malt with a distinct character of its own.

A whisky created in the north, shaped by place, time and silence.

Award-winning Swedish whisky

Over the years, High Coast has been recognised and honoured in some of the world’s leading whisky competitions. Aurora continues our ambition to create Swedish single malt whisky with a distinct origin, high quality and a character all of its own.

A few drops of water can bring out further nuances of fruit, sweetness and spice.

Aurora – born under the northern sky

Aurora is inspired by the place where our whisky is created. Here, on the banks of the Ångermanälven river, the extremes of the seasons meet, from light summer nights to cold and dark winters.

The northern climate and the wide temperature variations are part of the conditions under which our whisky matures. Aurora carries with it the story of this place – a Swedish single malt from the High Coast, created with patience and time amidst the silence of nature.
