Snaps Bornholm Organic No 6 Blueberry and Lemon Danish Aquavit 50 cl 40%

A handful of blueberries is crushed gently against a slice of lemon, and the colour that emerges sits somewhere between blue and violet. That is the image this bottle leaves behind long before you taste it.

The Expert's Description

Snaps Bornholm Organic No 6 Blueberry and Lemon is an organic Danish aquavit at 40% alcohol.

No 6 combines two main ingredients that rarely meet: sweet, dark blueberries and sharp, fresh lemon. Together they create a balance of sweetness and acidity that has become one of the most recognisable expressions in Snaps Bornholm's numbered range.

The colour is an unusual blue-violet and gives away in the glass exactly what to expect. That makes the aquavit a natural companion for the big cold table and for fish and shellfish dishes, where the acidity from the lemon plays well with the food.
