Bornholmer Salty Caramel is a shot liqueur from Bornholm Spirits, where the house’s premium vodka meets the flavour of salted caramel in a clearly sweet-and-salty style. The product is sold as Shots by Vodka Bornholm – Salty Caramel, bottled in 700 ml, and has an ABV of 16.4%. The producer describes it as a harmonious blend of salt and sweetness, created for drinkers who enjoy soft and approachable flavour profiles.
As for the producer, Bornholm Spirits is a spirits house based in Nexø on Bornholm. The company says its journey began with a chilli schnapps, and that in 2021 it took over the factory on Bornholm. Today, it presents itself as a house with more than 30 products and distribution to over 500 retailers, with a focus on developing schnapps, vodka, and other spirits with a distinctly Danish and Nordic identity. On its official site, the company also highlights its ambition to become a leading organic spirits producer in the northern region, and states that it works with carefully selected ingredients and Bornholm water as an important part of its house style.
In the glass, Bornholmer Salty Caramel comes across as round, sweet, and crowd-pleasing, with clear caramel flavour and a soft vodka base in the background. It is above all a product that works very well ice cold as a shot, but it also performs nicely over ice or as a sweet-and-salty element in simpler drinks. The overall impression is modern, easy-drinking, and made for pure enjoyment rather than for a dry or spirit-forward experience.
