  The Expert's Description

  Hellstrøm Miniature Norsk Akvavit is a Norwegian aquavit in miniature bottle format at 40% ABV.

  The content matches the full-size bottle exactly: a spice blend composed by Eivind Hellstrøm, television chef and owner of a two-star Michelin restaurant, using caraway, anise, star anise, citrus, orange, fennel, coriander, juniper and cardamom. After maceration and pot-still distillation, the aquavit rests for 12 months in new and old 500-litre Oloroso sherry casks before being bottled in miniature format.

  Clean and delicate with caraway, sweet liquorice and fennel, alongside dried citrus peel and Oloroso sherry.

  Hellstrøm Norwegian Aquavit 40%

  Item no.: 222278654231473-73

  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. It then rests for 12 months in new and old 500-litre Oloroso sherry casks, giving the spirit its golden colour and round, complex character.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Clean and delicate with caraway, sweet liquorice and fennel, joined by dried citrus peel, Oloroso sherry and a touch of clove, vanilla and sea air.

  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.

  Finish

  Long, led by caraway and citrus that fade slowly.

  Hellstrøm Norwegian Summer Aquavit 50 cl 40%

  Item no.: 222278654231473-76

  A breeze off the Norwegian southern coast, bottled. Seaweed, myrtle and heather meet a touch of fennel, light and clear as a summer evening.

  The Expert's Description

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

  For this version, Eivind Hellstrøm gathers his botanicals along the southern Norwegian coast: seaweed, myrtle, heather, fennel flowers, aniseed and caraway from Norwegian nature all feature in the blend. Unlike the classic Hellstrøm aquavit, Sommer is built to be lighter and fresher, skipping the heavy sherry character in favour of something suited to the bright months and to a table of shellfish.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Fresh, reminiscent of a mild Norwegian summer breeze, with seaweed, herbs and fennel.

  Palate

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

  Finish

  Short and refreshing with a light herbal close.
