mmm bäska droppar 😋
Hmm. I have some small bottles of Snälleröds snapsar and one of them is Besk. I haven't tasted it yet but do you know if it's similar to bäska droppar? And is bäska droppar similar to that Malört bottle in the picture?
I believe they're all different names for the same liquor, yes. "Malört" means wormword in Swedish, which is what they used to flavor bäsk. Besk is an alternative spelling for bäsk.
We drink a lot of it in Sweden 😋

I was browsing my comment history and stumbled upon this so I decided to finally open the bottle of Besk. Very strange taste. I wasn't expecting anything like this. Doesn't taste similar to other supposedly wormwood infused liquors like absinthe or vermouth. I've never tasted anything like this. Sort of minty note in bitter flavor I can't describe. This is certainly not my favorite bitter but if I was ever offered one I would happily drink it.
Just in time for midsommar! Yeah, it's pretty unique. I'll make sure to drink some today for you 😄
Enjoy your drink 😄 Hyvää juhannusta! Glad midsommar!
