Svol Danish Aquavit

🇩🇰 Svöl Danish-Style Aquavit
Style: Danish Aquavit | Base: Unaged Grain Spirit | ABV: ~40%
📝 Overview
Rooted in the historic traditions of Scandinavia, Svöl’s Danish-Style Aquavit pays homage to one of the earliest mentions of aquavit, dating back to a 16th-century letter by Danish Lord Eske Bille. True to Danish form, this aquavit emphasizes a bold caraway-forward flavor profile, distinguishing itself with finesse and spice.
🥃 Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich with caraway, evoking classic rye bread aromas, with hints of earth and forest.
Palate: The Finnish caraway leads with a warm spice, balanced beautifully by layers of Icelandic angelica root and birch bark. Complex yet clean.
Finish: Dry, slightly herbal, with lingering warmth and a whisper of pine.
