Nyborg Akvavit Kommen Dansk Økologisk Aquavit Snaps 50 cl 40%

A small bottle with a big character. Caraway, orange peel and a whisper of thyme unfold in the glass, a greeting from the Danish lunch table across generations.

The Expert's Description

Nyborg Aquavit Kommen is an organic aquavit made with caraway from Nyborg Distillery, 38% alcohol.

This smaller bottle is the distillery's travel-friendly take on its classic caraway aquavit, distilled from organic ingredients and filled just above the strength the EU requires before a spirit may even be called aquavit. The recipe shares its family traits with Nyborg's larger 50 cl edition, but the slightly lower strength makes the flavour lighter and more approachable, ideal for a first taste or a gift to take home.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Sweet aroma of orange peel, caraway and a touch of thyme, with a light floral edge.

Palate

Classic caraway character, mild and friendly, with sweetness standing out clearly despite the strength. Thyme adds a deeper layer beneath the citrus tones.

Finish

Spiced and pleasant, shorter than the distillery's stronger editions.
