OHD Akevitt, Håndverksdestilleri, Norway (41%)

OHD Akevitt has been matured for 12 months in American oak casks that give the spirit its light golden hue and full-bodied character. After a long history of state monopolies on alcohol production in Norway leading to total control of the market, OHD wants to bring authenticity back to the akevitt category.

At OHD we follow our own path and style, using only botanicals found in Norway. We have carefully sourced locally foraged ingredients such as meadowsweet, heather flower, St. John's wort, dandelion root, yarrow, chamomile flower, sorrel, hyssop and horehound to use in our recipe.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Meadow sweet and heather make way for a smooth caraway and spice lead.

Palate: Caraway hit leading in to floral anise.

Finish: Citrus oil, minerals and a long dry, herbal finish.
