Seasonal Sipper: Får North Spirits Ålander Nordic Rum

Ålander (OH-lan-der) is distilled in small batches with Louisiana Demerara sugar, Florida turbinado sugar and organic espresso from Alakef Coffee Roasters in Duluth, Minnesota. This Nordic-style spiced rum is infused by hand with whole-bean spices commonly found in Scandinavian baking, like allspice, nutmeg and clove – all organic and fair trade whenever possible. It tastes of gingersnap cookies and has background aromas of mocha, cardamom and butterscotch, giving way to flavors of root beer, Ugandan vanilla and a touch of peppermint. It finishes with sweet notes of caramel and banana bread.

With its smooth texture and clean, crisply defined flavors, Ålander was easily awarded Wine Enthusiast magazine's Top 100 Spirits of 2017. Its warm spices pair perfectly with the flavors of the season – apple and pumpkin – in these seasonal spins on a classic rum daiquiri and Jamaican-style mule.
