    The Expert's Description

    Original Finsprit Dobbeltfiltreret is a Danish akvavit at a full 60% ABV, made from grain and molasses.

    The spirit is double filtered, removing unwanted notes and leaving a fine, neutral flavour with minimal character of its own. The high strength makes it an effective tool when spices, berries, fruit or herbs need to release their flavour into a homemade snaps - the higher the ABV, the better the spirit draws out the aromatics. The product is distributed by Johs. M. Klein Distribution A/S.

About Johs. M. Klein Snaps

Johs. M. Klein Snaps is a classic Danish aquavit with a traditional, spiced flavour profile. For the newcomer it's an accessible, authentic entry into Danish schnapps tradition; for the connoisseur, the name is interesting since, like several other older Danish spirits brands, it references a historical founding family, giving the product a story rooted in craftsmanship and local heritage rather than mass production.

History & Background

The name Johs. M. Klein comes from a historical Danish spirits producer, where the family surname was used as a trademark in keeping with the era's custom of signalling personal responsibility and craft behind the product. This type of naming was common among the many small Danish distilleries that emerged in the 1800s and early 1900s, before the industry gradually consolidated around fewer, larger producers. The schnapps retains the classic, spiced style characteristic of aquavits from that era.

Production & Style

The schnapps is infused with herbs and spices following a traditional Danish recipe.
