Brennivin Aquavit

Herbal Liqueurs

Description: wd 91 points - Nuanced and palate-cleansing, look for a mild, savory scent and bracing notes of dill, fennel seed and pine, plus a brisk, zingy finish that suggests caraway-seeded rye bread. Pair this refreshing sip with herring or other savory bites. Brennivin is made from fermented grain and/or potato mash and flavored with caraway. Brennivin has a unique and distinctive aroma and palate that is similar to Scandinavian akvavit that pairs well with pork, herring, salmon,shark and other seafoods. Drink it straight ice cold or mix it into cocktails. Compared to Aalborg Taffel aquavit, which has dill as well as caraway notes, Brennivin is sweeter and less dry. It has a viscous mouthfeel, even at room temperature. It's deliciously complex despite there being only one botanical-caraway-flavoring it. This Icelandic water has a very high pH which adds to the softness of the finish. The interplay of mineral content and pH is the secret.
