About this bottle
Jeppson's Malört is an American bäsk, a wormwood-flavored liqueur first distilled in Chicago in 1933 by Swedish immigrant Carl Jeppson and now produced by CH Distillery in the city's Pilsen neighborhood. It's bottled at 35% ABV and built around wormwood root, giving it a famously bitter, medicinal flavor with almost no sweetness to soften it. The nose is sharp and herbal; the palate hits hard with bitterness and a lingering, dry, grapefruit-pith finish. It's not for casual sipping — it's a dare drink, a bar-shot tradition, and a love-it-or-hate-it Chicago icon.
How to drink Jeppson's Malört
Take it ice-cold as a shot — chilling blunts almost none of the bitterness but it's the traditional way. Some bars build it into a boilermaker alongside a cheap beer to chase the bite. It doesn't work as a mixer; its bitterness overwhelms almost anything else in the glass.
