Bommerlunder Aquavit 700ml from Germany is a distinguished German interpretation of the beloved Scandinavian spirit, crafted from the finest distillate and a carefully selected blend of herbs and spices, aged for six months in old oak barrels. Whilst aquavit is traditionally associated with Scandinavian culture, this German expression delivers authentic Nordic character, available to buy now online in Australia.
Appearance
Crystal clear with brilliant clarity, this aquavit presents a pristine, water-white appearance in the glass. The spirit's purity is immediately evident, with excellent viscosity that creates delicate legs when swirled, indicating its quality distillation and careful ageing process.
Aroma
The nose is elegantly restrained yet complex, led by subtle caraway notes that define the classic aquavit character. Gentle liquorice undertones emerge alongside whispers of dill and fennel, whilst the oak ageing contributes a soft vanilla sweetness. Hints of citrus peel and white pepper add further dimension to this well-balanced aromatic profile.
Palate
Smooth and refined on the palate, the caraway takes centre stage with its warm, slightly sweet spice character. The liquorice flavours weave seamlessly through the mid-palate, complemented by herbal complexity from the botanical blend. Six months in oak barrels lends a gentle roundness and subtle woody notes, whilst maintaining the spirit's characteristic freshness. The finish is clean and moderately long, with lingering spice and a pleasant warmth.
