BC Spirits "Spirits a Day" #269 - Long Table Distillery Akvavit

DISTILLERY NOTES

This premium Akvavit is copper pot distilled using a traditional Scandinavian recipe. This licorice forward spirit gets it’s character from six hand picked botanicals which include caraway, fennel, anise and Seville orange. The nose is greeted by complex licorice and orange notes but on the pallet a smooth, sweet nish of lingering marmalade and prevailing herbal notes. Served from the freezer its thicker viscosity makes Långbord Akvavit an ideal aperitif and digestif, served around a meal, and as a base for creative craft cocktails.
