1. Nuet Dry Aquavit

Nuet Dry Aquavit by Nuet is the world’s first aquavit that serves as a proper premium gin substitute. It combines almost 5 centuries of Scandinavian tradition with modern thinking and innovation, creating a unique piece of Scandinavia in a bottle.

Grapefruit peel and blackcurrant give Nuet Dry Aquavit a citrusy fresh taste, a nice viscosity, and a smooth finish, whilst the subtle caraway influence makes it stand out from the gin crowd.

2. Skagerrak Gin

Skagerrak Gin by Arcus is a clear Nordic Dry gin with hints of juniper and citrus. Elements of flowers and Nordic berries are seen in gin with elegant complexity. Skagerrak Gin has a fresh aroma characterized by juniper and citrus with hints of the sea.

Skagerrak focuses on the Nordic. On the sea that unites and washes over the shores of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. The flora on our northern coasts offers views and scents that are part of the Nordic people's soul. It is these scents of the sea and the beaches that inspired Skagerrak's Nordic Dry gin.

Skagerrak's seasoning is classic with juniper, coriander and orange. At Nordic latitudes, herbs and plants get more light than at other holes in the world, which means that they develop their own character. In addition, a unique distillate of seaweed has added saltiness that gives the Skagerrak even more seaside flavors.
