Spirit of Hven Organic Vodka - 50CL

Hven island sits in the windswept Oresund strait between Sweden and Denmark and it provides pristine raw materials for this gem of an organic distillery.  Family owned, utilising possibly the world’s smallest commercial pot still, Spirit of Hven are the dictionary definition of craft spirits.  In total command of a grain to bottle operation, the 2.9 square miles of Hven island make this a truly local affair. 

The Scandinavians have long mastered spirits as a way of keeping out the cold and Hven are the poster boy for a booming craft spirits scene.  Baltic brilliance meets Nordic Noir.  Buy, savour and feel the ice run through your veins.

Spirit of Hven Organic Vodka is a smooth, certified organic wheat spirit featuring a 40.0% ABV and a 50 cl bottle size. It delivers a distinct mellow flavour, an elegant mouth feel, and crisp vanilla, pepper, and herbaceous notes.
