Bivrost Norwegian Aquavit Liqueur 50 cl 35%

A sweeter, rounder take on the northern Norwegian aquavit tradition, meant to be enjoyed on its own.

Expert description

Bivrost Norsk Akvavit Likør is a sweetened version of the house aquavit, spiced with caraway, dill and other Nordic herbs, bottled at 35%. 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.
