  Falkendal Snaps Akvavit Thornæs Destilleri Danish Snaps 50 cl 40%

  Item no.: 05222-754

  Every Danish lunch table has its own akvavit, but Falkendal Snaps Akvavit is built for those who care about traditional craft. On the farm in Kagerup, dill seed and caraway meet at an unhurried, deliberate pace, far removed from the speed of industrial production.

  The Expert's Description

  Falkendal Snaps Akvavit is a Danish Akvavit from Thornæs Distillery, bottled at 40%. It is the distillery's take on the classic Danish lunch-table akvavit, where dill seed and caraway come together in a familiar but carefully balanced composition. Thornæs Distillery is based on the Falkendal farm in Kagerup near Helsinge, where founder Torben Thornæs Andersen has been distilling in a converted horse stable since 2019.

  In this expression, the akvavit is spiced with a touch of lemon for freshness and a whisper of fennel that ties the spices together. The final layer comes from locally harvested flower honey from the countryside around Græsted, adding a gentle sweetness underneath that rounds the akvavit off, even for drinkers who normally find akvavit too sharp.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Dill and caraway lead the way, with a touch of citrus and a faint sweetness of honey sitting behind them.

  Palate

  A spiced meeting of caraway and dill, rounded off by flower honey and a hint of fennel that holds it all together.

  Finish

  A mild sweetness that slowly gives way to the warmth of the spices and a dry, clean close.

  Falkendal Snaps Vinter Thornæs Destilleri Danish Snaps 50 cl 41%

  Item no.: 05222-753

  Winter in North Zealand is raw and quiet, but on the Falkendal farm in Kagerup, a light burns in the old horse stable where Thornæs Distillery finds its own kind of calm in the dark. This is where Falkendal Snaps Vinter is born — a dram that smells of orange peel over an open fire and a hint of frost on the windowpane.

  The Expert's Description

  Falkendal Snaps Vinter is a Danish Snaps from Thornæs Distillery, bottled at 41%. The snaps belongs to the distillery's Falkendal range, named after the farm in Kagerup near Helsinge, where founder Torben Thornæs Andersen swapped a career in communications for the dream of crafting Danish spirits in 2018. A trip through the Highlands and Speyside gave him the grounding he needed, and by 2019 production was under way in the converted horse stable on the farm.

  The winter edition is built for the darkest months of the year. It is loaded with juicy orange, crisp apple and a touch of fennel, and the result is a round, full-bodied snaps with a pleasant sweetness and a warming finish that lingers. It is made to sit alongside the herring and roast duck of a Danish Christmas lunch, but it works just as well as a warm gesture on a cold winter afternoon.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Fresh orange peel and stewed apple meet a gentle touch of fennel, laying a spiced veil over the fruit.

  Palate

  Round and full from the first sip, with a sweetness that drifts into warm orange tones and a hint of sweet spice underneath.

  Finish

  Long and warming, with the fennel fading out gently like a winter evening slowly settling into night.

  Did You Know?

  The Falkendal range is named after the very farm in Kagerup where Thornæs Distillery is based, inside a converted horse stable. It was here that Torben Thornæs Andersen started production in 2019, after a trip through the Highlands and Speyside had lit the spark for his own Danish whisky and snaps.
