Batch 22 Classic Gold is a New American Aquavit from Downtime Cocktails in Southern California, launched in July 2022 and bottled at 40% ABV. It is an American spin on a traditional Old World aquavit recipe.
Classic aquavit is a Scandinavian spirit flavoured with caraway and dill. Batch 22 leans into citrus, caraway and dill while reducing the anise and fennel notes, for a smoother, more mellow, citrus-and-herb-forward drink that is easy to mix.
It is distilled six times and made with all-natural extracts, with nothing artificial and no added sugar; it is gluten-free and keto-friendly.
Batch 22 won Platinum and Best Aquavit at the 2022 Los Angeles Spirits Awards and Gold as Specialty Spirit of the Year at the 2022 New Orleans Spirits Competition.
