Viking sagas and old legends often tell the story of magical swords. Sharper, stronger and fiercer than any other, with names such as Grim or Excalibur.
Swords that were more exclusive and powerful than any other swords of the Viking era. Swords engraved with a name on the blade, like INGELREÐ.
This is the inspiration for each bottle of Ingelred whisky.
Archaeologists have now proved that there might be some truth to the legends. Swords have been found in Northern Europe, made from steel of a quality that was not to be seen yet for a thousand years in this area. This steel can be traced as far away as to the Far East and India.
The legend of INGELREÐ is over a thousand years old.
The INGELREÐ sword combined the best of two worlds: from India the materials and advanced knowledge to make high carbon steel, and from the North the exceptional skills of a Viking blacksmith.
