A West Coast take on the classic Scandinavian spirit, on a wheat and malted rice base, vapor distilled with toasted caraway, coriander, cumin, anise, fenugreek, summer savory, and lemongrass. Named for a Scandinavian term for the regret that follows a night of heavy drinking. Took about a year to develop.

The Brand

New Alchemy Distilling

New Alchemy Distilling

El Dorado Hills, CA

Est. 2012

New Alchemy Distilling began as an idea in a research laboratory, where its two founders first met. That idea grew into a small, distiller-owned and operated business now involving additional members of their families. The team combines artistic and technical skillsets to bring new perspectives to classic spirits, using neutral spirit distilled in-house for their vodka and gin rather than sourcing it, and a custom-built still for vapor-path botanical extraction. Every new batch, no matter how small, gets tasted by the whole team before it's bottled.

How It's Made

New Alchemy distills its own neutral spirit in-house from wine grapes rather than sourcing it, which they say produces subtler flavors than larger brands get from bought base spirit. Gin botanicals are hand sorted, weighed, and ground, then extracted by vapor-path distillation using a still the founders designed and built themselves. Their vodka goes through a proprietary further-purification technique.

Tasting Notes

The distillery's own favorite savory spirit, built to stand out neat while still holding up in cocktails.
