Aquavit

A caraway-centric, celebratory Scandanavian spirit!

Ingredients: Organic corn, malted rye, caraway seed, heavily-seeded rye bread, dill. 42% Alcohol by Volume, 750 ML.

Tasting Notes: ISCO’s unaged Aquavit gives off aromas of earthy cumin and warm rye, giving way to subtle candied lemon and caraway flavors followed by a lush, verdant dill that lingers on the palate.

Cocktails: While Aquavit can be (very) happily enjoyed sipped straight, you can use it to spike your hot cider, try it in a riff on a Collins in place of the gin or a Mule in place of the vodka. Or in a briny pickle martini, like Gertrude’s in NYC! Find more recipes here!

Production Method: This spirit’s spicy character comes from our rye mash, which we created by fermenting a beautiful organic corn alongside a bit of malted rye. After an initial run through our still, we layered in complex flavors derived from both caraway seed and multiple loaves of a custom-made heavily seeded rye from a local family-run bakery in an additional distillation. Finally, we infused the resulting distillate with fresh local dill. Enjoy!!
