Svol Swedish Aquavit
Svol Swedish Aquavit is an 80-proof (40% ABV), 750mL aquavit made in Brooklyn, New York — the Swedish-style sibling to Svol's Danish expression, built on an unaged grain spirit distilled at New York Distilling Co. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Where the Danish style leads with caraway, the Swedish style leads with fresh dill — the defining botanical of Swedish aquavit — backed by caraway, coriander, fennel, lemon verbena, lovage, and lemon peel. The result is brighter and more herbal than its Danish counterpart: a crisp, savory spirit that shines ice-cold alongside seafood or in a Nordic-inspired cocktail.
Tasting profile: fresh dill and lemon up front, fennel and coriander mid-palate, and a clean, herbal finish. Browse the Svol brand collection, the Danish-style Svol aquavit, and the full spirits collection.
Serving note: serve freezer-cold with gravlax or shrimp — or try it in a Bloody Mary for a Scandinavian twist.
