Tranum Mølle Aquavit

At the same old mill where Tranum distils gin, the snaps is also brewed. Caraway seeds and local spices from the North Jutland area are here transformed into aquavit rooted deep in Danish snaps tradition.

  • Aquavit bottle with dill sprigs beside an old grain mill
    Item no.: 22227865479-2021-07

    In the cellar beneath an abandoned grain mill in Vendsyssel, an aquavit is born that holds fast to simplicity: dill, grain and craft.

    The Expert's Description

    Tranum Mølle Dild Akvavit is a Danish aquavit at 42% ABV from Tranum Mølle Destilleri.

    The distillery is housed in the cellar beneath the old Tranum Mølle, a grain mill dating from the early 1800s that stood abandoned until it was revived in 2018 as a modern distillery in Vendsyssel. Here, aquavit is distilled in small, handmade batches with dill as the leading flavour — true to the classic Danish aquavit tradition, where either caraway or dill must dominate. The distillery was named Distillery of the Year in Denmark in 2019.

About Tranum Mølle Snaps

Tranum Mølle Snaps is produced at the same old mill in North Jutland as Tranum Mølle Gin and builds on the area's local ingredients and spices. For newcomers it's a classic, accessible aquavit with a clear Danish starting point; for connoisseurs it's interesting that a small local distillery holds firm to traditional Danish snaps culture while also managing to brew a well-regarded gin under the same roof.

History & Background

The snaps production at Tranum Mølle Destilleri springs from the same local passion that led the distillery into gin, and builds on a Danish snaps tradition going back several hundred years, to when herbs and spices were used to extend and improve the keeping quality of home-distilled spirits. The distillery is located at a historic mill in Tranum, where local ingredients feature in the recipes. We have only limited specific documentation of the distillery's exact founding year, so details are kept deliberately general.

Production & Style

The schnapps is infused with herbs and spices following a classic, local recipe.
