BC SPIRITS NOTES

Everyone knows my love for Akvavit / Aquavit. Let’s try one of BC’s first with the Okanagan Spirits Aquavitus. Rich and herbaceous, the cumin really strikes a savory cord. Spectacular example of aquavit, great diversity of the spirit across the province. A bit of an underdog.

Alcohol - 42% / 84 proof

Color - Clear

Nose - A wallop of cumin and caraway with a wet concrete background

Taste - Complex and herbaceous, rich and broad flavors of anise, hints of savory dill and a huge pop of cumin

Finish - Left with sweet base spirit and savory tones

Best Enjoyed - With pickled fish if that’s your thing
