Snaps Bornholm Organic No 8 Chilli and Honey Danish Aquavit 50 cl 40%

Bornholm honey syrup has warmed the lunch table for generations, and here it is joined by a small edge of chili. Sweet meets sharp, and the glass is hard to put down.

The Expert's Description

Snaps Bornholm Organic No 8 Chili and Honey is an organic Danish aquavit at 40% alcohol.

No 8 draws on the Bornholm honey syrup tradition, a local specialty that islanders and visitors alike have loved for generations. Snaps Bornholm builds on that tradition by adding a touch of chili to the sweet honey.

The result is a full, round aquavit that opens sweet and closes with a small bite from the chili. It is meant as a modern nod to the classic honey syrup traditionally eaten with salt-fried herring.
