Haavaldsen Sommer Aquavit 0,5L 39,3%

Havaldsen Aquavit Triple Cask, 0.7L 40% The surroundings and home Between Norway's mainland and Drammen lies Lier, the green lung of the country and also one of the most fertile regions in the area. This is one of the reasons why Lier is home to so many local farms. Here you can still find very traditional family businesses that work closely with nature and with great care with consideration for future generations. The Kimerud farm is one of them and this is where the Havaldsen Aquavit Triple Cask comes from, which is particularly linked to the history of the company founded in 1785. It is considered a homage, a toast to the master distiller's grandfather, Herold Havaldsen, who toiled as a miner in the Norwegian mountains during his lifetime and fought for freedom in the Navy during World War II. The distillery thus presents a product that it has placed very consciously for itself and that serves as one of its flagship products from the bottom of its heart. The Havaldsen Aquavit Triple Cask and its creation As it was discovered in 2007, the area surrounding the farm offers much more than just plantable soil. A wide variety of fruits, herbs and spices grow in the immediate vicinity, so the idea of using these and creating a product that reflects the landscape, country and people was not far off. The Havaldsen Aquavit Triple Cask uses caraway, coriander, angelica, mint, ginger, orange and lemon peel, some of which are also used in the company's own gin production. The aquavit cuts an impressive figure as an aperitif and as a digestif. When tasting, it shows a scent of fine fresh caraway, strong oak from storage, as well as refreshing orange. The taste seduces with its complexity and the balance between clear oak notes and citrus fruits, paired with the typical caraway. In the finish, you had a very full, characterful aquavit in the glass, which fades away with a long, soft aftertaste.
