Vintersol No.2 Original Aquavit is finally here! After months of diligent experimentation, testing and tasting, we’re proud to announce the release of our second aquavit. Distilled with dill, coriander, lemon peel and aniseed, it’s a modern take on a classic aquavit. Featuring bright citrus and elegant herbaceous notes, this versatile spirit can be sipped neat, showcased in a cocktail, or simply paired with a mixer (it’s absolutely fantastic with tonic!). To celebrate this release, we’re offering 10% off all products in our webshop over the next week, including the No.2 Original Aquavit. Just use the code AQUAVIT10 at checkout for your discount.

Rounding off this week with our traditional #fredagsbar, and our most popular cocktail: the Ginger Skipper. To join us, measure 50ml No.1 Aquavit and 30ml tangerine juice into a highball glass, add ice, top up with ginger ale, and stir gently to mix. If you're feeling fancy, garnish with a butterflied tangerine segment.

For now, skål! #vintersol #aquavit #akvavit #distillery #distilling #handmade #scandi #scandinavia #nordic #putney #london #londonarches #istillfamily

The first batch of our No.2 Original Aquavit is still resting, but in the meantime we're experimenting this #fredagsbar with some we made earlier. Mixed with some elderflower tonic and garnished with dill and lemon, this is the refreshing beverage we needed this gloomy late January evening! #vintersol #aquavit #akvavit #distillery #distilling #handmade #scandi #scandinavia #nordic #putney #london #londonarches #istillfamily

And with that, the first batch of our No.2 Original Aquavit has been distilled and stored in these lovely new barrels from @_polsinelli_ ! Developing the No.2 has been a real pleasure. We set out to create a bright, zesty, and herbaceous spirit, something that would offer a contrast to the earthy, autumnal notes of the No.1, and really demonstrate how versatile aquavit can be. At the same time, we wanted to maintain that characteristic aquavit spice and warmth. We think we’ve succeeded, and can’t wait to share it with you and see what you think. Keep a lookout for our launch announcement around the end of February! #vintersol #aquavit #akvavit #distillery #distilling #handmade #scandi #scandinavia #nordic #putney #london #londonarches #istillfamily
