AquavitAquavit (aka akvavit) is a predominantly caraway and/or dill flavored spirit made using a neutral spirit base distilled from potatoes or grain. Other botanicals can be used and it can be aged, but neither are required. Traditionally made in Scandinavia, but can be produced anywhere.
Tasting Notes
"On the nose, this aquavit is rich and funky, with notes of malted grain, lemon, dill and caraway. It's a bit spicy on the palate, and somewhat reminiscent of a young whiskey. Herbal notes of dill and coriander is complemented by the rich sweetness of the base spirit. There's a touch of fennel and sweet lemon on the palate as well. This is a versatile base for stirred or shaken cocktails, and is also easily enjoyed on its own."
