Tasting Notes
Birch sap, mineral water, subtle sweetness, green wood, spring forest, light vanilla, wintergreen hint. Delicate and clean — the opposite of heavy, sweet liqueurs. The flavor is forest floor after rain, not birch beer candy.
Brand Guide
Primary: Birkenhof ($25-35, German). Nordic producers: Various Finnish and Estonian craft options ($20-35). The category is niche — availability depends on region. For substitution: birch syrup + vodka approximates the flavor profile.
