This special edition of Brennivin is infused with sweet, malty, delicious rugbraud, the traditional Icelandic dark rye bread. This unique bread is slow baked for one full day in the warm earth at Geysir, the most famous hot spring area in the world, giving it a truly unique Icelandic flavor and aroma. The bread is crumbled and mixed with Brennivín’s classic aquavit and allowed to sit for two weeks before filtration and bottling. Here, two Icelandic traditions combine to create the delicious sensation of biting into freshly baked rye bread! 40% ABV

Description

The beginnings of Brennivín date back to 1935 when prohibition was partially lifted in Iceland. Brennivín literally translates into ‘Burnt Wine,’ same as the Dutch ‘gebrande wijn’ or BRANDYwine. Brennivin’s nickname, Svartidauði, which translates to ‘Black Death,’ built a devoted cult following during and post-Prohibition in Iceland. Until relatively recently, Brennivin was frequently smuggled back to the US in the luggage of travelers. Now readily available, Brennivín Aquavit champions complex cocktails with its savory aroma and flavor.

wd 91 points – Nuanced and palate-cleansing, look for a mild, savory scent and bracing notes of dill, fennel seed and pine, plus a brisk, zingy finish that suggests caraway-seeded rye bread. Pair this refreshing sip with herring or other savory bites.
