Handpicked ocean truffles, fresh from the North Atlantic.
Just like the famously aromatic truffle, the Ocean Truffle seaweed (Vertebrata lanosa) is a rare but very potent botanical, full of truffle flavour but with an oceanic twist. Its habitat is the cold, North Atlantic Ocean around the Faroe Islands. It grows on other types of seaweed and therefore must be hand-picked by divers. It is best in certain areas around the islands and its flavours peak in February-March. Therefore it is a limited resource that must be foraged with great care for environmental sustainability and its ability to replenish. This is the only akvavit in the world and one of only two spirits in the world using Ocean Truffle as a botanical.
80 Proof ( ABV 40%)
Faer Isles Distillery has from day one been fuelled by passion. Entrepreneurship and a devotion for flavour and spirits has driven this project from the day we founded the first whisky appreciation society on the islands until today when we are producing whisky and several other quality spirits based on local botanicals and culinary traditions.
