Norden Aquavit Original Taffel Style
Norden Aquavit is an award-winning, premium American-made spirit distilled in Detroit, Michigan. Founded in 2017, it bridges centuries-old Scandinavian traditions with modern craft distillation practices. It earned prestigious industry recognition by winning a Double Gold Medal and "Best in Class" honors at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
Unlike many commercial European aquavits that use extracts or flavor macerations, Norden employs a single-distillation, "one-shot" copper pot still method heavily inspired by London Dry gin. They utilize 100% organic Midwest grain spirits and source local, wild-crafted, or organic botanicals to shape their flavor profiles.
Norden Aquavit Original Taffel Style: This unaged flagship bottle relies on a balanced framework of ten botanicals. Caraway and dill seed take center stage, supported by bright bursts of clementine, coriander, anise, angelica, orris, juniper, clary sage, and staghorn sumac. It is bottled at 45% ABV (90 proof) to maintain character when mixed.
