FREEsia AQUA is a German aquavit produced by I.W. Wolff (Leer, Lower Saxony). The spirit follows the Northern European aquavit tradition and is also related to the style known locally as “Köm” in the northern regions of Germany.
The recipe includes sea buckthorn, a plant typical of the North Sea coast. It adds a distinct fruity acidity and complements the classic spiced profile of aquavit. According to the producer, the result is a balanced spirit with a layered aromatic character.
In 2020, FREEsia AQUA received a Silver Medal at the Meininger International Spirits Award.
Recommended to be served well chilled.
