OHD says it wants to bring authenticity back to the akevitt category.

After a long history of state monopolies on alcohol production in Norway leading to total control of the market, it says it is dedicated to reviving traditional customs with the creation of high-quality artisanal spirits enriched with Nordic botanicals.

Distilled from a potato base spirit OHD Akevitt (41% abv) has been matured for 12 months and has a blend of caraway, meadowsweet, hyssop, yarrow, heather, sorrel, St John’s wort, chamomile, calamus root, dandelion, wormwood, angelica root and horehound.
