Bivrost Midsumarblot Norwegian Dill Aquavit 50 cl 40%

A summer release from Bivrost, spiced with dill from the northern Norwegian gardens.

Expert description

Bivrost Midsumarblot Norwegian Dill Aquavit is a seasonal aquavit flavoured with generous amounts of fresh dill, bottled at 40%. Bivrost is distilled at Aurora Spirit Distillery in Lyngen, northern Norway, 69 degrees north of the equator, making it one of the world's northernmost distilleries. Construction began in 2016, and the name Bivrost comes from Old Norse mythology, where it denotes the rainbow bridge between heaven and earth — a nod to the Northern Lights often seen above the distillery. Local botanicals and glacial meltwater are used in production.
