Faer Isles Distillery Hvonn Akvavit

39.8% ABV

Faer Isles is a Distillery on the Faroe Islands, a remote island chain in the north sea that is part of the Kingdom of Denmark. They produce malt whisky, vodka, gin, and 2 different Akvavit. They proof their spirits with water from an undersea aquifer that is over 1 million years old and use different varietals of seaweed in all of their white spirits. Akvavit (or aquavit) is a Scandinavian grain distillate that is akin to Gin but whose primary botanical is caraway seed rather than juniper. This one is made with locally grown anjelica root which gives it an anise-like edge and a bit of spice on the palate. The inclusion of seaweed imparts a briny maritime note. We recommend popping this bottle in the freezer for a smooth, textural, spiritual experience!
