Faer Isles Hvonn Akvavit 39.8% ABV 0.7 l

Faer Isles Hvonn Akvavit is a distinctive Nordic spirit from the Faroe Islands, whose recipe is closely linked to the flora and the maritime environment of the North Atlantic. The akvavit is produced by the Faer Isles Distillery in Vestmanna, which operates in small batches and places particular emphasis on regional botanicals in its spirits. At the heart of Hvonn Akvavit is angelica, which grows wild on the islands and is known as ‘Hvonn’ in Faroese. Both the root and the stem of the angelica are used in the production process. Whilst the root contributes finely spiced and aniseed-like notes, the stem provides a greener and fresher botanical aroma.


The angelica is complemented by hand-picked seaweed, which further emphasises the connection to the coastal landscape of the Faroe Islands and adds subtle maritime notes. Faer Isles Hvonn Akvavit 0.7 l is bottled at 39.8% ABV and produced without artificial colourings. The combination of angelica root, angelica stalks and seaweed forms the key distinguishing feature of this bottling and combines traditional Nordic akvavit culture with the regional character of the Faroe Islands. As well as akvavit, the Faer Isles Distillery also produces gin, vodka and whisky, and its range is strongly inspired by its rugged North Atlantic origins. This makes this aquavit from the Faroe Islands particularly well-suited to lovers of authentic, herb-infused spirits featuring unusual regional botanicals.
