Aquavit - Fennel & Caraway Schnapps
Scandinavian Aquavit
Aquavit is a bold, aromatic spirit with centuries of Nordic heritage. Its name comes from the Latin aqua vitae, meaning “water of life,” and it was historically believed to aid digestion and even ward off disease. Infused with traditional spices like caraway, fennel, cumin, and cardamom, this spirit offers a distinctive savoury profile balanced by a subtle hint of sweetness and a clean, herbal finish.
Tasting Profile
The nose opens with warm, herbal aromas of caraway and fennel, layered with gentle spice. On the palate, it is smooth and complex, revealing earthy, aromatic notes that linger into a crisp, clean finish.
Serving Suggestions
Serve ice-cold and neat to fully appreciate its nuanced flavours. Aquavit is perfect as an aperitif or after-dinner drink and pairs beautifully with traditional Nordic foods such as pickled herring, smoked salmon, charcuterie, and rye bread. It also adds an intriguing herbal twist to cocktails like an Aquavit Martini, Nordic Mule, or Aquavit Negroni, offering a modern take on classic recipes.
