Snaps Bornholm Frost No 1 Organic Danish Akvavit 50 cl 40%

The wind off the Baltic cuts clean across the rocks, and the glass in front of you stands bright and cold. There is nothing unnecessary here, only the clean and the crisp.

The Expert's Description

Snaps Bornholm Frost No 1 is a clear organic Danish aquavit at 40% alcohol.

Frost is the clear counterpart to the golden Blond in Snaps Bornholm's core range, distilled from organic wheat and local spring water that has rested deep in Bornholm's bedrock. This gives the aquavit an entirely clean, almost water-clear base to build its flavour on.

What sets Frost apart from the rest of the range is its deliberately restrained spicing. Caraway, dill and a touch of citrus are worked in gently, so the aquavit never turns dominant but instead stays fresh and silky throughout.
