Aquavit

Aquavit is distilled from 100% grain neutral spirits produced from corn, caraway, coriander, juniper and dill. Hints of cardamom and citrus are our primary flavor contributors for this gorgeous, clear spirit.

We grist and macerate our botanicals in 70 proof neutral alcohol in our copper pot still for 18-24 hours prior to distillation.

A blend of 10 unique botanicals are married in our copper pot still to bring the crispness of fine gin with savory flavor o f world class Aperitif. Enjoy this caraway and coriander flavored beauty as a shot, in the chilled glass or in the finest blended cocktail. We recommend using it in a Bloody Mary.

Bright, crisp citrus character that offers a bouquet of savory spices including caraway and coriander which rounds out an almost earthy undertone.

Sweet, but very heavy bodied offering spicy notes to the sides of the palate. Black pepper and dill come through light and elegant and are well balanced with other savory herbs and botanicals.
