  HC Andersen Dill Aquavit New Danish Fairytale Organic Snaps 50 cl 43%

  Item no.: 22227865378-701

  A summer garden in Odense, dill that smells of childhood, and a story that never quite lets go. That is where this bottle begins, grown from the same soil as the fairy tales themselves.

  The Expert's Description

  HC Andersen Dill Akvavit New Danish Fairytale is an organic dill akvavit at 43% ABV, named after Denmark's best-known teller of fairy tales.

  The bottle belongs to the "New Danish Fairytale" range, which wraps classic Danish akvavit tradition in a modern, story-driven presentation tied to Hans Christian Andersen's world. It is built on an organic grain spirit in which dill carries the main flavour, the legal requirement for anything labelled akvavit in Denmark.

  The organic starting point means both grain and herbs are grown without artificial fertiliser or pesticides, giving a cleaner, more direct expression of the dill itself.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Fresh dill fronds and a touch of aniseed meet a light citrus lift, giving the akvavit a green, summery character.

  Palate

  Soft and herbaceous with dill at the centre, carried by a gentle sweetness and a warmth that builds slowly.

  Finish

  Long and clean, with dill lingering for several seconds, rounded off by a light spiced warmth.

  Fary Lochan Fadlageret Aquavit Danish Snaps 20 cl 42%

  Item no.: 22227865482-407

  Four years in a French oak cask that once held red wine gave this aquavit a sweetness and depth rarely found in Danish snaps.

  The Expert's Description

  Fary Lochan Fadlagret Aquavit Danish Snaps is a Danish aquavit from the distillery in Farre near Give, bottled at 42% ABV.

  Like the distillery's other cask-aged snaps, this one starts as Fary Lochan's fresh nettle snaps. But the path here is different: the cask is French oak that previously held red wine, and a full 4 years in this cask gives the aquavit a pronounced sweetness and a unique character that still recalls whisky, but in its own particular way.

  The result is a softer, sweeter cask-aged snaps than the distillery's Laphroaig-aged version – two different roads to the same destination: showing what time in a cask can do to a simple nettle snaps.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Sweet and round, with notes of red wine, dark berries and a hint of French oak.

  Palate

  Soft and full-bodied, where the red wine cask's sweetness meets the nettle's green base and a light vanilla from the oak.

  Finish

  Medium length and sweet, with a warm, faintly wine-like finish that fades slowly.

  Did You Know?

  While the distillery's other cask-aged snaps matures in a used Laphroaig cask, this version rests a full 4 years in French oak that once held red wine – twice as long, but a completely different result.
