Nordic Spirit’s range includes two products that do not appear in most competing brands’ lineups at any strength level: Liquorice Mint and Mocha. Both are specific enough in their flavour direction that they will not appeal to everyone, and both are interesting enough that users who are a good fit for them tend to make them their primary product rather than an occasional rotation option.
Liquorice Mint
Liquorice is a divisive flavour. People who like it tend to like it strongly; people who do not like it tend to find even a mild liquorice note unpleasant. Nordic Spirit’s Liquorice Mint does not try to soften the liquorice character into something universally accessible – it is genuinely liquorice, with the distinctive anise-adjacent sweetness and slight bitterness that defines the flavour, balanced against a mint element that provides a clean finish.
The balance between the two elements is well-calibrated. The liquorice is the primary note but the mint prevents it from becoming heavy or cloying. The finish is cleaner than a pure liquorice product would be. For users who specifically enjoy liquorice in other contexts – liquorice sweets, pastis, ouzo, fennel-forward food – this is a nicotine pouch that tastes like something they actually like rather than a compromise towards a generic audience.
It accounts for a modest share of Nordic Spirit’s UK sales, which reflects the self-selecting nature of the liquorice audience rather than a quality problem. Within the users who try it, the repeat purchase rate is high.
Mocha
Mocha is Nordic Spirit’s coffee-adjacent product. The flavour is a combination of coffee and chocolate rather than straight coffee, which avoids the problem that most coffee-flavoured nicotine pouches face: pure coffee flavour tends to read as bitter or slightly chemical in a nicotine pouch format, because there is nothing to contextualise it the way milk or sugar does in an actual coffee drink.
The mocha approach – adding a chocolate element – solves this elegantly. The result is more of a sweet, warm beverage character than a sharp coffee note. It works best for users who enjoy coffee in the context of something richer rather than a straight black coffee drinker who wants the concentrated coffee flavour specifically.

Both Liquorice Mint and Mocha represent Nordic Spirit at its most interesting. They are the products that make the brand worth paying attention to for users who have found every other nicotine pouch range too conventional.
