The light over Nexo falls low across the rocks, and the glass catches that same amber glow. It is a taste grown from grain and spice left to rest quietly together.
The Expert's Description
Snaps Bornholm Blond is an organic golden aquavit from Bornholm with an alcohol strength of 40%.
The bottle belongs to Snaps Bornholm and Bornholm Spirits' core range, where the golden Blond is the counterpart to the clear Frost. It is distilled from organic wheat and local spring water that has rested and matured in Bornholm's bedrock for a very long time, giving the aquavit a mild and clean base to build its flavour on.
What makes Blond stand apart is the interplay of cardamom, St. John's wort and a touch of black pepper. Together they create a nuanced, spicy and round character that warms the palate without ever turning sharp, and the bottle shows visible legs in the glass as a sign of body.
Tasting Notes
Nose
Warm cardamom meets a herbal touch of St. John's wort, framed by a light, spicy hint of black pepper.
Palate
Round and full-bodied, with clear cardamom, a nuanced spice play and a gentle warmth that spreads calmly across the tongue.
Finish
Long and mild, closing on a last, quiet trace of pepper.
