Jeppson's Malört is a uniquely bitter liqueur with roots in Chicago, where it has become a local icon. Crafted with a base of neutral grain spirits, it is infused with the unmistakable flavor of wormwood, a defining ingredient that gives it its signature intensity. This spirit is a tribute to Scandinavian traditions, embodying a bold and uncompromising taste that has earned a cult following among adventurous drinkers.
The tasting profile of Malört is unapologetically bitter, with a burst of earthy herbal notes and a citrusy undertone. The initial sip greets you with a sharp, almost medicinal bitterness, mellowing into a dry, lingering finish that fans describe as both challenging and oddly satisfying. Its distinctive flavor makes it an acquired taste but one that rewards those who embrace its daring character.
Traditionally enjoyed as a shot, Malört has also found a place in creative cocktails where its strong personality adds complexity. Whether taken neat to honor its heritage or used as a bold twist in mixed drinks, it’s a spirit that invites conversation and guarantees a memorable experience.
