Håvaldsen Aquavit Triple Cask is produced with the same method used for the best gins, i.e. by distilling all the botanicals together and then adding pure mountain water at the end. The peculiarity of Aquavit is that of being aged for a total of 9 months in three different types of wood: Sherry, Madeira and French oak barrels: it is the first triple-cask brandy ever produced in norway and possibly in the world.
Its unique and full taste comes from this particular maturation process, where the taste of botanicals such as cumin, coriander, angelica, mint, ginger and orange and lemon peel joins the notes of the wood reminiscent of vanilla and caramel. Håvaldsen Aquavit is perfect drunk smooth, it is indeed an excellent one appetizer and also a excellent digestive, but it also works great as a main ingredient in modern cocktails.
The producer is Kimerud, also known for his excellent gin and the fine aged version of the latter. This small Norwegian artisan distillery has always based its products on the care of raw materials, on the refinement of production methods and on tradition and the numerous international awards they have won are proof of the quality of Kimerud distillates.
