What Inderøy Distillery Says About the Winning Product:
VI Aquavit represents a new style of aquavit that appeals to a new generation of consumers. It has a rounded and mild flavor of caraway, hints of raspberry and sea buckthorn, rounded tones of elderflower and meadowsweet. We have only distilled local herbs from Trøndelag, blended by "master mixologist" Jørgen Dons. This was named the world's best aquavit in 2022 and awarded the title of the world's best clear spirit!
