Australian Aquavit
An Australian take on the traditional Scandinavian spirit - Stockholm Syndrome Aquavit is bright and herbaceous with classic flavours of anise and caraway melding into buttery notes of macadamia and spice.
A Bit About...
A uniquely Australian representation of the traditional Scandinavian spirit. Made in collaboration with PS40, an incredible Sydney-based bar and soda producer.
Aquavit is a traditional Scandinavian spirit with an earthy, savoury character. Our Australian Aquavit utilises some of the Australian botanicals discovered in our gin R&D phase. These were considered unsuitable for our gin style but delicious in their own right, especially when combined with flavours found in Aquavit.
Caraway, fennel and dill have been used to form the structure of the spirit base, with complexity added through the addition of cinnamon myrtle, riberry, macadamia and strawberry gum. The resulting spirit is clean, bright and herbaceous.

Immediately bright and herbaceous, classic dill and caraway develop into new world buttery notes of macadamia and spice. Anise develops late. |

Incredibly long and complex. Cinnamon myrtle and fennel extend across the back palate. |
