Snaps Bornholm Organic No 2 Sea Buckthorn, Dill and Cucumber Danish Aquavit 50 cl 40%

Picture sea buckthorn by the coast, dill swaying in the wind and a cool slice of cucumber freshly cut. That is the freshness this aquavit tries to capture in a single glass.

The Expert's Description

Snaps Bornholm Organic No 2 Sea Buckthorn, Dill and Cucumber is an organic Danish aquavit at 40% alcohol.

No 2 is built around three ingredients that rarely meet in the same glass: the rounded, slightly tart sea buckthorn, fresh dill and mild cucumber. The combination is Snaps Bornholm's take on an aquavit that speaks directly to New Nordic cooking.

Where many aquavits lean on caraway and herbs, No 2 takes a different path and lets berries and greens take the lead role. The result is a bottle that feels just as at home with a prawn platter as with the classic herring table.
