“A SCANDINAVIAN CLASSIC
MADE IN MICHIGAN”
Meaning “water of life,” Aquavit is a staple of Scandinavian culture, often found at festive gatherings.
Embracing time-honored methods, our distillers are able to craft an Aquavit that’s made in Michigan, yet remains true to its Northern European roots.
We invite you to enjoy its notable herbs and spices in the company of friends and family – the way it’s been enjoyed for centuries!
Process & Techniques:
- Milled from whole grain and fermented on site
- Features a unique blend of botanicals, macerated for days in a traditional manner, including caraway, dill seed, fresh dill, star anise, cumin, fennel and more
- Non-chill filtered
- Aged in used Wheat and Rye Whisky barrels for over a year
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma and flavor is led by heavy doses of caraway
- Fresh dill provides a savory finish
- Other traditional botanicals and spices include star anise, cumin, fennel and more, for a bold, flavorful spirit perfect for sipping or mixing in a drink
- Barrel aging offers deep vanilla notes on the finish and rich complexity that amplifies some flavors and aromas, while mellowing the overall mouthfeel and finish
