A favorite: Special Edition No. 1 - Rhubarb & Star Anise
A gem of a schnapps
Our Special Edition No. 1 is an enchanting combination of sweet and spicy.
This is due to the fusion of Rhubarb and the slightly spicy Star Anise, which together create a fantastic flavor universe.
Since its launch, our Special Edition No. 1 - Rhubarb & Star Anise has taken Denmark by storm and is still one of our absolute favorites - both internally at Bornholm Spirits, but also among our many loyal and schnapps-loving customers!

Star anise is an aromatic spice fruit with a characteristic star shape that belongs to the clove family.
It resembles an eight-armed star with brown fruit shells and small seeds in each arm and has a sweet and spicy aroma with a hint of licorice and anise.
Star anise is often used as a spice in culinary recipes and for making liqueurs, teas and aromatic oils and its unique flavor adds depth and complexity to many dishes. Star anise is especially used in Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines.
The spice is also known for its beneficial properties and is traditionally used as a natural remedy in some cultures.
