Bivrost Cask Aquavit 50cl
A delicious Aquavit, matured in carefully selected Sherry Casks
Description
Bivrost Cask Aquavit
Aquavit is a true Nordic tradition, and Bivrost's is a delicate and sophisticated medium‐to‐full body aquavit.
Whilst the full recipe is a closely guarded secret, it is made with a potato alcohol base. Some of the flavourings are Caraway, Star Anis, and liquorice.
For their Cask version, the Aquavit is stored in carefully selected sherry casks. These are then matured in an underground storage vault (these used to be part of a network of tunnels in a Cold War NATO base).
The result is a delicate and sophisticated medium-to-full body aquavit. It's smooth and deliciously rich with hints of dried fruits and citrus. Cloudberries, fennel, orange zest, hazelnut and buttery oak all come through. The finish has a distinct warming spice flavour.

Perfect Serve
Whilst this is enjoyed across the Nordic countries and Germany, each enjoys it in their own way. In Norway this is drunk neat, at room temperature (from a tulip or shot glass). It's drunk slowly and enjoyed.
