Brennivin Description
Simply put, aquavit is a dry, caraway/dill/anise infused vodka. Brennivin ONLY uses caraway. Aquavit translates into “Water of Life”, same as eau de vie. Iceland is famous for their soft, alkaline glacial water, leading to a silky texture and slightly sweet palate. Brennivín’s unique caraway flavor, its scarcity outside of Iceland, and its nickname Svartidauði, which translates to “Black Death”, has built a devoted cult following. It is frequently smuggled in the luggage of returning travelers.

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.
