Tamworth Distilling Announces Holiday Release

Tamworth, N.H. – On November 26, 2018, Steven Grasse (creator of the Hendrick’s Gin brand and Sailor Jerry Rum) and Tamworth Distilling & Mercantile will release an improved recipe for Skiklubben, their celebrated aquavit inspired by the storied Nansen Ski Club in Berlin, New Hampshire. To commemorate the new release, Tamworth Distilling will be making their Skiklubben Aquavit available nationally for the first time at Warehouse Wine & Spirits.

One of the first American distilleries to resurrect the age-old Scandinavian spirit, Tamworth Distilling & Mercantile puts a scratch-made spin on the Nordic spirit traditionally made with dill and caraway. Their delightfully warming dram is crafted with a whiskey base (a blend of bourbon, barley and wheat whiskey) and a seasonal mix of wintery vegetables and spices, including parsnip, carrot, clove, anise, and cardamom.

Originally founded in 1872 by a group of Nordic settlers before becoming an international ski institution, the Nansen Ski Club is the oldest operating ski club in the country. Maintaining cross-country ski trails in the area, Nansen Ski Club recently restored its ski jump to its former glory after being decommissioned in 1988 and serves as the inspiration behind Tamworth Distilling’s Skiklubben Aquavit.

Since its release in 2015, Tamworth Distilling’s Skiklubben Aquavit has been at the forefront of the burgeoning category. This holiday, whether being sipped as a pre-ski bracer or an après ski celebration, Skiklubben Aquavit is the perfect spirit for the season, and available for purchase at Tamworth Distilling & Mercantile in New Hampshire and nationally at Warehouse Wine & Spirits.
