Björk & Birkir Gift Box (2x50 cl.)

Birkir snaps, with its distinct woody but fresh flavour is hand-crafted from distilled grain spirit and flavoured with Icelandic birch handpicked in the spring.
Birch (Betula pubescens), the signature tree of Iceland, has numerous wholesome qualities. The birch used in Birkir‘s flavouring is taken from the unspoiled Icelandic wilderness. The trees were planted at the roots of Haukafell mountain next to Vatnajökull glacier in the 1960’s as a part of a soil reclamation program. The trimmings that are cut off to make the forest sustainable are used for Foss Distillery‘s products.

Ever since farmer Alexander Bjarnason wrote about the fortifying, purifying and appetizing properties of birch in 1860, Icelanders have continued to praise its many qualities, such as its rejuvenating and invigorating benefits for the skin, hair and even the libido. How about that!
Enjoy Birkir chilled in a snifter glass, on the rocks, as an aperitif or as a digestif.
Birkir with tonic or club soda is the perfect refreshing alternative.
Birkir is an ideal ingredient in cocktails.
