For centuries, we have gathered around holiday tables to celebrate the season. Inspired by this tradition, we’ve macerated and distilled fruit & spices into a distinctive aquavit to capture the magic of the Swedish winter.
76 Proof (ABV 38%)
Åhus is a tiny seaside village in southern Sweden, and for many years the namesake distillery was the main hub of aquavit production. This is the only product that they make, and they have worked for over a century to perfect it. As per legal standard, the primary flavor in aquavit must be caraway and/or dill, and true Swedish aquavit must also contain fennel. Other botanicals that they use include rosemary, lemon peel, and Seville orange. It can be enjoyed neat or chilled in true Scandanavian fashion, but also adds wonderful character to a myriad of cocktails.
Winter apple, spicy caraway and mellow vanilla dominate the nose followed on the palate by fresh lemon peel, soft cinnamon and a small hint of fennel. The mouthfeel is silky with a medium long finish that’s warm and subtly spicy.
