AboutBornholm Spirits
Bornholm Spirits began in 2016 as Snaps Bornholm, when a group of friends launched a chilli schnapps. They took the Bornholm Spirits name after buying Den Bornholmske Spritfabrik in Nexø in 2021.
That factory had brought aquavit production back to the Danish island in 1994, following an earlier distilling tradition in Hasle. Bornholmer Akvavit remains a mainstay alongside schnapps, vodka and gin, with organic ingredients a priority for the team.

Caraway and dill lead with a clean, savoury aroma and a distinctly Nordic herbal character. The palate is soft and rounded, allowing the seed spice to unfold gradually rather than arriving sharply. A gentle warmth develops through the middle, followed by a lingering finish of caraway, dill and dry spice. Serve well chilled alongside smoked or cured fish, or pour a small measure with a traditional cold table where its clear structure can refresh the palate.
