Layer upon layer of lemony citrus complicates the caraway-flavored base liquor that anchors Old Ballard Liquor Co.’s Alskar Aquavit Citron. Similarly to the increasing number of gins whose supporting herbs and spices quite nearly take center stage alongside the juniper, this golden-hued Seattle take on the Scandanavian spirit’s powerfully zesty lemon flavor will appeal to caraway skeptics, while aquavit lovers should also find that it augments the spirit as a whole. Bright and refreshing in the aroma as on the palate with a savory botanical finish, it mixes beautifully, especially alongside a floral Northwest gin.
