I am often tasked with trying unusual spirits, exotic flavors of craft beer, and new and exciting products in the beverage industry. Today I sample something that those of you in the Chicago area will know very well… and you probably have a love-hate relationship with this particular spirit.
Today, I explore the unusual and distinctive flavor of the bäsk liquor, Jeppson’s Malört. I share the interesting history of the spirit and how it is made. Sampling the flavor palate and unusual fragrance of Jeppson’s Malört, I suggest some possible uses in mixed drinks. I also share how this incredibly bitter spirit is a ‘rite of passage' for Chicago drinkers and how the liquor is seeing a resurgence throughout the US and Europe.
