  Harald Jensen Aromatic Spicy Aalborg Aquavit 70 cl 45%

  Item no.: 222278654231473-72

  He left the Royal Academy of Fine Arts as second in his class to take over the family distillery instead. Harald Jensen may have put down his brushes, but he left his mark all the same - in a glass, dry and spiced enough to remember the whole evening by.

  The Expert's Description

  Harald Jensen Akvavit is a Danish akvavit at 45% ABV, aromatic and spiced, named after the painter and distiller Harald Jensen, who developed it in 1863.

  It is distilled from caraway seed and combined with a distillate of, among other things, anise seed, galangal root, ginger, allspice and Roman chamomile - a spice composition that gives it a bold, complex profile.

  In 1883, Harald Jensen sold his distillery to De Danske Spritfabrikker, who chose to keep the akvavit as a local Aalborg brand, named after its founder.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The aroma is intense and spiced with distinct caraway, backed by warm notes of ginger and anise.

  Palate

  The palate is dry and spiced with a nuanced caraway character alongside hints of dried spices and licorice.

  Finish

  The finish is long and spiced, where the exotic notes of galangal root and Roman chamomile provide a distinctive close.

  Aalborg Anniversary Danish Aquavit 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 222278654231473-80

  There does not need to be anything special to celebrate. Aalborg Jubilæums was born to mark a milestone birthday, but its golden, gentle taste works just as well on an ordinary Thursday, whenever the table could use a little festivity.

  The Expert's Description

  Aalborg Jubilæums Akvavit is a golden Danish luxury akvavit at 40% ABV, which came to market in 1946 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the launch of Aalborg Taffel Akvavit.

  It is made from a distillate of dill and coriander seed, rounded off with extract of American white oak. Unlike most other akvavits in the range, it is entirely free of caraway seed.

  That gives an elegant, balanced taste where dill and coriander carry most of the weight, while star anise, citrus and caramel play smaller but important supporting roles.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The aroma is golden and inviting with distinct dill and coriander, spiced by a hint of star anise.

  Palate

  The palate is full-bodied and soft with dill and coriander upfront, backed by nuances of citrus and a light caramel sweetness.

  Finish

  The finish is soft and round, where caramel and a discreet oak character bring the experience to a graceful close.

  Aalborg Cask Aged Danish Snaps 70 cl 37.5%

  Item no.: 222278654231473-05

  The sun sat in the glass long before the bottle was opened. Four months on sherry casks and a touch of Caribbean rum meet Danish grain spirit, and the result is warm, round and faintly exotic - the cold table gets an unexpected visit from southern climates.

  The Expert's Description

  Aalborg FAD is a Danish akvavit at 37.5% ABV that breaks from most of the Aalborg family by skipping the classic, dominant caraway flavour altogether.

  The spirit first rests for four months on sherry casks before being finished with rum from the Caribbean. That combination gives a spirit with clear warmth from the rum, supported by notes of bitter orange, lemon peel and vanilla from the cask ageing.

  Aalborg FAD is the newest addition to the Aalborg family, made for those who prefer a mild, round dram over the strong, spiced caraway character usually associated with Danish akvavit.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The aroma opens with rum and a light sweetness, with a hint of vanilla and ripe fruit in the background.

  Palate

  The palate is mild and round, where bitter orange and lemon peel mingle with the warmth of the rum and a faint sweetness from the sherry cask.

  Finish

  The finish is soft and lingering, with a last touch of vanilla and a warm, southern character.

  Aalborg Dild Danish Aquavit 70 cl 38%

  Item no.: 222278654231473-50

  A dew-soaked dill patch on an early summer morning, a slice of rye bread with shrimp and a spoonful of mayonnaise. Aalborg Dild bottles that whole picture into a single glass - green, fresh and ready to pour beside the seafood platter.

  The Expert's Description

  Aalborg Dild Akvavit is a Danish akvavit at 38% ABV, made from a distillate of fresh green dill herb along with dill and lemon peel.

  The spirit was originally launched in a 50cl bottle, created because Danish akvavit lacked a variant built specifically for fish and shellfish. Its success led to a 2010 relaunch in the classic 70cl Aalborg bottle.

  Where many other akvavits lean on caraway, Aalborg Dild is built around the fresh, herbal taste of dill, rounded off with a touch of citrus that gives it extra lightness.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The aroma immediately conjures dew-fresh green dill, rounded off with a touch of citrus.

  Palate

  The palate is mild and spiced with clear dill upfront, carried by a light tartness from the lemon peel.

  Finish

  The finish carries discreet hints of anise, giving a light, herbal close.

  Aalborg Export Danish Aquavit 70 cl 38%

  Item no.: 222278654231473-51

  Sometimes the best company arrives without warning - a neighbour drops by, or lunch runs long. Aalborg Export is the golden akvavit that always waits in the cupboard, mild and easygoing enough for whatever the day brings.

  The Expert's Description

  Aalborg Export Akvavit is a Danish akvavit at 38% ABV, launched in 1913 by C.A. Olesen, one of the founders of De Danske Spritfabrikker.

  It is made from a caraway distillate rounded with sherry, which at the time made it the first cask-aged akvavit from Aalborg. That ageing gives the spirit its characteristic golden colour.

  Where Aalborg Taffel is sharp and clear, Aalborg Export is softer and rounder, since the caraway aroma is complemented by nuances from the sherry casks.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The aroma is round and inviting with a clear hint of caraway, carried by a light sweetness from the sherry.

  Palate

  The palate is balanced and nuanced, where the caraway aroma is complemented by notes of prune and orange.

  Finish

  The finish is soft and gently sweet, with a last touch of ripe fruit.

  The Expert's Description

  Aalborg Krone Akvavit is a golden Danish akvavit at 40% ABV, launched in 1990 and one of the younger classics in the Aalborg range.

  Aalborg Nordguld Danish Aquavit 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 222278654231473-56

  Thirty million years ago, resin dripped from northern forests and hardened into amber. In Aalborg Nordguld, that ancient treasure is fused with caraway and dill - an akvavit that quite literally carries the gold of the North.

  The Expert's Description

  Aalborg Nordguld Akvavit is a Danish akvavit at 40% ABV, launched in 2007 as the world's first - and still only - akvavit featuring aroma compounds that have been encapsulated in amber for up to 30 million years.

  Amber is also known as the gold of the North, which gave the akvavit its name. Alongside the amber distillate, Aalborg Nordguld contains distillate of caraway and dill seed, finished after resting on sherry casks.

  The result is an akvavit where the classic caraway character is complemented by the truly distinctive, earthy note of amber.

  Palate

  The palate is smooth and round with character, where caraway carries the first impression while the amber adds depth.

  Aalborg Porse Snaps Danish Aalborg Aquavit 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 222233473-566

  The Expert's Description

  Aalborg Porse Snaps Dansk Akvavit is a Danish aquavit at 40% ABV from Aalborg Akvavit.

  The Aalborg name dates back to 1846 and is one of the best-known in Danish aquavit tradition, today part of the Anora Group. Porse Snaps was launched in 1965 and is built on an extract of porse, also known as bog myrtle or sweet gale, harvested at Lille Vildmose in North Jutland, flavoured with sherry and rosemary distillate.

  Nose

  Fresh, herbal bog myrtle with a hint of rosemary.

  Palate

  Spiced and distinctive, carried by the plant's characteristic herbal character with rosemary in the background.

  A herring lunch without this one feels unfinished. Aalborg Taffel is the akvavit generations of Danes have raised their glass to - clear as spring water, sharp as a good story, and every bit as inevitable as the meal itself.

  The Expert's Description

  Aalborg Taffel Akvavit is a Danish akvavit at 41% ABV and the very archetype of a clear Danish akvavit, launched in 1846 by Isidor Henius, the man behind modern Danish spirit production.
