"Malort"
Letherbee BËSK ...$29.99
Letherbee unites with R. Franklinfor a refined rendition of BËSK —a relatively obscure yet locally infamous Swedish liqueur dominated by wormwood. The violently bitter shot initially hits with flavors of grapefruit before an onslaught of wormwood alongside earthy gentian root — an effect that lingers on the palate for quite a surprising while. Beneath the acrid din of the more acute tasting notes rests more gentle traces of juniper, star anise, and elderflower musk. Bottled at 100 proof, Letherbee’s BËSK remains an esoteric shot for adventurous drinkers, but the bitter liqueur can be gracefully incorporated into sophisticated cocktails.
Besk - also know as MALORT
Malort is the Swedish word for Wormwood and of course, Malort originated there.
Created by Jeppson and Co., Malort has been in Chicago for a long time. It is only distributed in Chicago. Letherbee initially called theirs Malort, but the name Malort is trademarked by the famous producer Jeppson Malort. The trademark is being disputed by liquor giant Sazerac
Letherbee now calls theirs "Besk" which means "bitter".
