Aalborg Miniature Taffel Danish Aquavit 10 cl 45%

Sometimes a single dram is enough. Aalborg Miniature Taffel packs the entire classic Red Aalborg experience into a bottle that fits in your palm - perfect for the one toast, the gift, or the shelf of a collection.

The Expert's Description

Aalborg Miniature Taffel is a Danish akvavit at 45% ABV in miniature format - the same classic caraway akvavit as Aalborg Taffel, only in a bottle of just 10cl.

It is distilled from caraway seed following the original 1846 recipe, and the format makes it ideal for tasting, as a guest gift, or for those who collect miniature bottles.

Where the full-size bottle is built for the herring table, the miniature is made for the single dram - a quick, concentrated tasting experience without opening a full bottle.

Tasting Notes

Palate

The palate is sharp and characterful with caraway upfront, backed by the robust 45% strength.

Finish

The finish is short and concentrated, with a discreet hint of orange behind the caraway character.
