Snaps Bornholm Organic Special Edition Rhubarb and Star Anise Danish Aquavit 50 cl 25%

Bornholm summer captured in one glass - pink, sweet and spiced with a whisper of star anise. Special Edition Rhubarb & Star Anise is a chef's tribute to the island's ripened rhubarb.

The Expert's Description

Snaps Bornholm Organic Special Edition Rhubarb and Star Anise is a Danish aquavit at 25% ABV.

The schnapps was created by chef Casper Sobczyk, also known as 'the butter chef from the Sunshine Island', as part of Snaps Bornholm's Special Edition series, developed together with Nordic chefs and bartenders as a modern tribute to classic schnapps. The pink colour comes entirely from sun-ripened rhubarb, and the flavour combines the rhubarb's fresh sweetness with star anise's spiced undertone. The schnapps also features in Casper's signature cocktail, 'The King of Denmark'.
