Tranum Mølle Dill Aquavit 35 cl 42%

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.
