New Product Alert: Barrel Rested Aquavit
We’re thrilled to announce the arrival of a new addition to our world of single malt spirits: our Barrel Rested Aquavit. This new release represents a step in the evolution of aquavit, blending traditional craftsmanship with innovative aging techniques to create a spirit that's as rich in character as it is in flavor.
What Makes Barrel Rested Aquavit Special?
Aquavit, the storied Scandinavian spirit, has long been revered for its herbaceous, caraway-forward profile. We expanded on the traditional botanicals to include notes of orange, anise, and peat smoke. But what happens when you introduce the complexity of barrel aging into the mix? Our Barrel Rested Aquavit offers a new take on our Single Malt Aquavit, showcasing the transformative power of time and oak.
1. Aged to Perfection: Our Barrel Rested Aquavit is aged in a freshly harvested barrel which was first used to mature our American Single Malt Whisky, the cask imparting layers of nuanced flavor that you won’t find in a traditional aquavit. The aging process mellows the spirit, enriching it with hints of anise, spice, and a delicate oak that beautifully complements its traditional herbal notes.
2. A Harmonious Blend: We’ve meticulously crafted a blend of caraway, dill, and other botanicals for our aquavit, then allowed them to marry with the oak’s influence. The result is a harmonious fusion of herbal freshness and the deep, complex character of barrel aging.
3. Exceptional Versatility: This product isn’t just for sipping neat. Its sophisticated profile makes it a fantastic base for cocktails, elevating classics like a refined Aquavit Old Fashioned or imparting a new character on modern cocktails like on the Penicillin. Imagine a nuanced twist on your favorite drinks, each sip revealing layers of flavor that evolve on the palate.
Tasting Notes
Nose: The aroma is a captivating blend of oak and licorice with hints of caraway.

Finish: The finish is smooth and lingering, with herbs and spice and a delicate smokiness that invites another sip.
