Brøndum Danish Aquavit Clear 70 cl 40%

Round, mild and almost unassuming - that's the point. Brøndum Klar isn't meant as the finished product, but as the starting gun for your own homemade snaps.

The Expert's Description

Brøndum Dansk Snaps Klar is a Danish akvavit at 40% ABV, developed as a mild, near-neutral base for homemade spiced snaps.

Where the house's other bottlings let caraway lead, Klar is toned down in spice and rounded off with acacia honey and malt. The result is a softer, less spirit-forward snaps, made to take on new flavours - whether that's berries, fruit or fresh herbs from the garden. It's the Danes' preferred starting point when homemade bjesk is on the table.
