Spirit of Hven Organic Vodka
Spirit of Hven Organic Vodka (750mL, 40% ABV / 80 proof) is a singular Swedish craft vodka made from certified organic wheat grown on the island of Hven. Column-distilled, then rested in virgin American oak casks before a final redistillation in the distillery's unique copper pot stills — bottled with no carbon or chill filtration and no additives — it arrives crystal clear yet remarkably full-bodied, with the round, buttery mouthfeel that defines the house style. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

From Island Fields to Copper Pot Stills
The tiny Spirit of Hven distillery sits on an island in the Öresund Strait between Sweden and Denmark, where some of the country's finest farmland spreads within sight of the stills — and the distillery grows its own certified organic grain there. Founded in 2008 by Henric and Anja Molin, the house does something almost no vodka maker attempts: the spirit rests in virgin American oak casks between distillations, and the final pass through the copper pot stills strips the color while leaving the cask's texture and character behind. The result is a vodka that pours crystal clear but drinks fuller than it looks.

Tasting Notes
The nose is complex yet restrained — hints of vanilla from the oak maturation, dried grass, and something buttery. The palate is smooth and multifaceted: cut hay and wheat, a round buttery sweetness with the copper pot-still's warm tone, and an oily, coating texture. The finish is long and oily, with sweet barley and a light dusting of black pepper.
How to Enjoy
This is a vodka built for sipping — serve it neat at cellar temperature or over a single ice cube, or add a splash of water to open the palate further. For cocktails, its buttery body elevates a vodka martini or a gibson to something memorable; its character also holds up in drinks where the vodka is meant to be tasted, not hidden.
