  On a stretch of Norwegian coastline, a Michelin chef blends spices with sherry oak and sea air. The result settles golden in the glass, ready for the table.

  The Expert's Description

  Hellstrøm Norsk Akvavit is a Norwegian aquavit at 40% ABV.

  Behind the recipe stands Eivind Hellstrøm, a television chef and owner of a two-star Michelin restaurant. He built the spice blend himself from caraway, anise, star anise, citrus, orange, fennel, coriander, juniper and cardamom, macerated in spirit and water for several days before the aquavit is distilled on pot stills.

  Palate

  Fresh and fruity with a full, almost creamy texture. Citrus fruit, anise and a hint of sea salt meet dry sherry, while the alcohol stays soft and well integrated.

  Hellstrøm Norwegian Summer Aquavit 50 cl 40%

  Item no.: 222278654231473-76

  The Expert's Description

  Hellstrøm Norsk Sommer Akvavit is a light Norwegian summer aquavit at 40% ABV.

  Palate

  Light and crisp with a hint of sea salt, followed by fennel, aniseed and caraway.

  The Expert's Description

  Lyng Botanical Akvavit is a Norwegian aquavit from Det Norske Brenneri, 45.9% alcohol.

The result is a complex, layered aquavit that moves far beyond simple caraway snaps, unfolding instead as a tribute to Norwegian nature.
