Spirits & Cider Descriptions:
LINIE is a potato-based aquavit from Norway, flavored with distillates of caraway and other botanicals. The spirit is aged in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks. Ultimately the casks are sent on a sea journey across the world to mature, from Norway to Australia and back again. The result is an extraordinarily smooth and well balanced aquavit with leading notes of caraway and star anise, and finer hints of vanilla and sherry.
OPAL is one of the most popular drinks in Iceland. Opal Icelandic Liqueur is created by infusing the namesake Opal candy in grain neutral spirits, offering intense notes of salted black licorice, menthol, and eucalyptus.
Reverend Nat’s Hard Cider – Jon Teiste’s Tonic Cider is named for the first aquavit distributor, a ‘Cider of Life’ with caraway, cumin, fennel, paradise seeds, lemon and dill. 6.9% ABV
