Let’s connect 
The Baltic coast, Bornholm
On the Baltic island of Bornholm, Nordic craft takes a wonderfully individual form. Discover spirits that bring the island’s ingredients, character and curiosity to the table.
Our Danish story begins with Bornholm Spirits in Nexø. Here, aquavit, snaps, vodka and other spirits sit naturally alongside the island’s food culture. From a clear, delicately botanical aquavit to a cherry dram with a maritime history, this is a collection with a distinct sense of place.
Our Danish chapter begins on Bornholm: an island of fishing harbours, smokehouses and makers, where the Baltic shapes both the landscape and the lunch table.

Sol over Gudhjem is a Bornholm signature: smoked herring on rye bread, traditionally finished with egg yolk, chives and radish. The island’s smokehouses keep this coastal food culture visible, with fish prepared over wood and shared close to the harbour.
Gudhjem’s steep streets and harbour offer one view of island life. Beyond the fishing villages, Bornholm has a strong tradition of ceramics and glass. Workshops, small producers and a close relationship with materials give the island a character that reaches well beyond the bottle.
Start with smoked fish, rye bread and seasonal produce. Aquavit and snaps belong to the wider Nordic lunch tradition; a small measured serve lets the food and the selected botanicals remain the focus.
Bornholm became a World Craft Region in 2017. Ceramics and glass are central to this identity, with skills passed through studios, workshops and specialist education on the island.
Bornholm Spirits is based in Nexø. Explore its aquavit and snaps first, then follow the house into contemporary gin, vodka, rum and liqueurs. Each named expression brings its own ingredients and style.
For the curious, the passionate and the people who bring exceptional experiences to life. There’s a place for you in our world.
