Facts
This Aqua Vitae is one of a kind. Truly handcrafted with certified organic ingredients. The fresh spirit is oak matured both prior and after distillation giving extra depth to the soft fudge, vanilla character. The scent of new grind coffee reveals gently behind the fresh herbs, something remarkable indeed.
The unique distillation process in the small copper pot stills of Hven creates sweetness that in combination of summer sea breeze and newly cut lawn.
Only the best fresh organically grown lemons and oranges are selected to supply the zest that contributes with the oily citric notes that holds together the taste and the body of the spirit.
Spirit of Hven organic oak matured Aqua Vitae can be served as schnapps to a cold appetizer, on ice with a slice of orange or even drunk with the addition of water alone.
This is a very unique Aqua Vitae that will give you a new way of looking at flavoured schnapps.
The final products are hand bottled on site at 40% ABV without any carbon- or chill filtering, no color corrections or additives.
All bottles are individually numbered and signed before approval.
Flavor
This Aqua Vitae has a clear note of Caraway in the scent, combined with the berry freshness from St Johns wort. Fresh peels from organically grown lemon and oranges contribute with citric, almost Christmas like tone. The distillation in small copper pot stills adds a round sweetness.
Oak maturation in American Quercus Alba complement the herbal peppery tone with sweet Vanilla and fudge, behind the first sip a scent of coffee and liquorices are released. Addition of a small portion of locally harvested honey suppliments the long aftertaste with oily sweetness. Pleasant is the word.
