Spirit of Hven Organic Summer Spirit
Flavored Vodka
Spirit of Hven // Sweden
Taking their aged organic wheat vodka, they then macerate fresh elderflowers in it. It then ages for 12 months in virgin oak. After aging it is re-distilled with bitter orange, rhubarb, apples, and other locally-harvested botanicals added to the still. It is then aged again in virgin oak; one-third is aged for one year, one-third aged for two years, and on-third aged for three years. It is bottled at 40% with no carbon or chill filtration nor any additives or colors. All ingredients are organic.

Tasting Notes
"There's a warm, amber color to the spirit. Spicy cinnamon, orange, and elderflower greet you on the nose, moderately so. Tasting this spirit, the flavors come in waves. First the warm spices, then apples and rhubarb. Next, bitter orange comes along. The sweetness to it all is mild. It is an intriguing and fun spirit, one that will make you go back to the glass again and again. Wouldn't be a bad pairing with a simple dessert like angel food cake or a cheese course. Serve slightly chilled."
