Distiller Notes
A perfectly balanced, modern Aquavit. The main flavor-driver is caraway. After that, a break with tradition begins as bright and faintly sweet citrus notes loom large. Fresh fruit and herbal aromas are an enticing draw while floral and earthy undertones hold your attention throughout. Bottled at 45% alc./vol. to allow the character of each ingredient to stand out when mixed. Over-all, a harmonious flavor with a clean and refreshing finish. Perfect on its own in the Scandinavian tradition or in cocktails.

A German word originally referring to the amount of a single pour, Schnapps is equivalent to the English ‘shot’ or ‘dram.’ Later, the term came to be associated with any type of strong alcoholic drink and began picking up regional styles and production methods. For example, Schnapps made in northern Europe are typically based on grain spirits and flavored with herbs, while Schnapps made in southern and central Europe are clear Brandies distilled from fermented fruit. Traditional European Schnapps contain no sugar or flavoring agents, whereas Schnapps made in America and other New World countries are generally much less expensive and include both flavors and sweeteners.
