Crafted in the Scandinavian “snaps” tradition known as kryddersnaps or “spice-schnapps”, we gathered fresh strawberries and zesty rhubarb directly from Michigan farms and soaked them in our Award-winning “original taffel-style” Aquavit for 45 days to preserve the peak flavor of Summer. Just before bottling the spirit was finished with hibiscus flowers and a meticulous vapor-distillation of Damask rose petals for a vibrant hue and delicate balance. Bottled at 38% alcohol by volume, Distiller Robyn Cleveland says, “The resulting spirit bursts with fresh strawberry on the nose, citrus fruit and caraway spice throughout, and plays up the floral notes of the original for an entirely new experience, but one that is quintessentially “NORDEN”. It really captures the essence of Michigan Summer at its peak and preserves the feeling as we roll into fall”.
Best served chilled (neat).
Suggested mixer: soda or Fever Tree Mediterranean Tonic.

AMERICAN OAK RESERVE
Aged For 12 months in American Oak Casks
$41.99
$16 flat rate shipping on all orders over $44
750 ML | ALC. BY VOL. 53.5% | 107 PROOF
The same botanical bill, 100% organic base spirit, and distillation process as our flagship Taffel Style with a minimum of 12 months spent in previously used American oak casks*. No additives, coloring, or chill-filtration needed or welcomed—this is aged aquavit in its most honest form and a rare offering within the category, especially given its cask strength proof.
Nose: Freshly cut spearmint leaves, floral top notes, hints of oak, and a touch of honey.
Palate: Heavy wafts of caraway hit the palate before the liquid even touches the tongue. Followed by mild citrus then lingering wildflower honey. Any dry character of the oak is subtle yet adds a nice balance to the sweetness that dominates.
Finish: Easy going down leaving a light honey, vanilla, citrus, and floral taste lingering until the next sip.
Overall: A full-bodied harmony of evolved botanical aromas and pronounced caraway spice with a vanilla-laced, sweet citrus finish.
Neat serve: Lightly chilled.
For cocktails: Makes a great substitution in cocktails that call for aged spirits.
Pairings: Aged cheeses, roast pork, and smoked or cured meats.
*Regular releases are typically aged in once used ex-rye barrels and are blends of 3-5 casks, though occasionally single barrels are offered that match our desired flavor profile. On occasion superlative experimental and rare cask bottlings will be offered in extremely limited supply. Be sure to check in regularly and subscribe to our mailing list for announcements.
