Svinkløv Klit Snaps 35 cl 37,5%

The wind off the dunes, the salt of the sea and a touch of honey from the North Jutland coast, gathered into one bottle. Svinkløv Klit tastes of that landscape.

The Expert's Description

Svinkløv Klit Snaps is a Danish spiced schnapps at 37.5% ABV from Nordisk Brænderi.

The schnapps is named after Svinkløv Klit, the hilly dune landscape by Jammerbugten in North Jutland that inspires much of the distillery's range. Nordisk Brænderi is run by Anders Bilgram, who distils spirits from nature's own ingredients at a hands-on micro-distillery in Vester Svenstrup near Fjerritslev.

Svinkløv Klit is distilled with marram grass, amber and honey, then matured on sea buckthorn and rosehip, both typical of the dune landscape along Jutland's west coast.
