  VI ER AKVAVIT Snaps Small Batch Aquavit 50 cl 42,8%

  Item no.: 2222786539-100110

  Caraway leans sideways in the fields of Norway's Vestland, while juniper bushes on Sjællands Odde hold their berries close to the stem. Two opposite ends of the Nordics, meeting in one glass.

  The Expert's Description

  VI ER AKVAVIT is a Danish small batch akvavit at 42.8% ABV, created by the young akvavit brand VI.ER, which has worked since 2016 to make akvavit exciting again.

  The base is wind-blown caraway from Norway's Vestland, combined with hand-picked, wild-growing green and dark juniper berries from Sjællands Odde. The akvavit is distilled in small batches at the micro-distillery Nordisk Brænderi in northwest Jutland, close to the Bay of Denmark.

  Because every ingredient is foraged rather than farmed, only limited quantities of each batch are made, giving it a more hand-crafted, exclusive character than most akvavits on the market.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Fresh, sharp caraway meets a floral trace of juniper, lending a resinous, almost woodland edge.

  Palate

  Crisp and full, where caraway lays down a lightly sweet, liquorice base while the juniper adds depth and a faint bitter edge.

  Finish

  Medium length, dry and spiced, with juniper and caraway resolving together into a clean close.

  Did You Know?

  For a spirit to be called akvavit, its main flavour must come from either caraway or dill, its strength must be at least 37.5%, and it cannot taste bitter, three rules VI ER AKVAVIT says it takes seriously in every batch.

  Vi Er Green Midsummer Snaps Small Batch Akvavit Denmark 50 cl 42,8%

  Item no.: 2222786539-100112

  Midsummer bonfires, bright nights and dill picked while still wet with dew. This akvavit is distilled to taste like Denmark's shortest night.

  The Expert's Description

  VI ER AKVAVIT Green Midsummer is a Danish small batch akvavit at 42.8% ABV from the akvavit brand VI.ER, spiced with green dill, juniper berries and spruce shoots.

  Where the brand's other bottles start from caraway, Green Midsummer is built around dill, harvested in Denmark during the short window it is at its freshest. The dill is paired with juniper berries and spruce shoots, which give a green, woodland counterpoint to the dill's herbaceous character.

  The akvavit is distilled in small batches at the micro-distillery Nordisk Brænderi in northwest Jutland, where every batch is kept limited to preserve the intensity of the freshly picked ingredients.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Intense green dill aroma, closely followed by resinous notes of juniper and spruce shoots.

  Palate

  Fresh and herbaceous, with dill leading, while juniper and spruce shoots add a lightly bitter, woodland depth beneath the green surface.

  Finish

  Fresh and relatively short, with dill and spruce resolving together into a clean, green close.

  Midsummer's Eve on 23 June is one of the Danish traditions closest to the peak of summer, marked with bonfires and communal singing along coasts and lakes across the country, the same season this akvavit is named after.

  Vi Er Nordic Hygge Snaps Small Batch Akvavit Denmark 50 cl 42,8%

  Item no.: 2222786539-100111

  Candlelight, woollen socks and an evening where nobody is in a hurry, hygge is hard to translate but easy to recognise. This akvavit is distilled to taste exactly like that.

  The Expert's Description

  VI ER AKVAVIT Nordic Hygge is a Danish small batch akvavit at 42.8% ABV from the akvavit brand VI.ER, spiced with warm Nordic spices.

  Like the brand's other bottles, Nordic Hygge starts from wind-blown caraway from Norway's Vestland, here combined with a warmer spice profile than the classic VI.ER akvavit. The result is a full, soft akvavit built for the colder months.

  The akvavit is distilled in small batches at the micro-distillery Nordisk Brænderi in northwest Jutland, where every batch is spiced and bottled in limited numbers.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Warm, spiced aroma where caraway meets sweet, winter-leaning spices and a trace of honey.

  Palate

  Full and soft, with a round warmth that spreads slowly, while caraway keeps the flavour structured and dry enough to avoid tipping into cloying sweetness.

  Finish

  Long and warming, with the spices lingering well after the last drop.

  Hygge is considered one of the hardest Danish words to translate directly into other languages, and the concept has today become a global shorthand for Nordic domestic wellbeing, the very mood this akvavit is named after.
