About this bottle
Jeppson's Barrel-Aged Malort is the oak-rested version of Chicago's notoriously bitter wormwood liqueur — despite the Swedish name and heritage, it's made in the United States, today by CH Distillery in Chicago, Illinois. This expression spends one to five years resting in ex-bourbon barrels, and that time in wood is doing real work: it softens Malort's famously harsh, medicinal bitterness into something with an oak backbone and a mellower, more restrained finish. It's still assertively bitter and herbal up front — this isn't a gentle liqueur — but the barrel time makes it approachable in a way the standard bottling never tries to be. Bottled at 70 proof.
How to drink Jeppson's Barrel-Aged Malort
Cold, in a shot glass, the way Chicago drinks it — the chill and the oak both help tame the wormwood bite. It's not a mixing spirit; this one is meant to be confronted, not diluted.

Questions about this bottle
How should Barrel-Aged Malort be served?
Cold, straight up in a shot glass, is the traditional way — chilling it and drinking it fast is how most people get through Malort's bitterness, barrel-aged or not.
What does barrel aging do to Malort?
This expression rests one to five years in ex-bourbon barrels, which softens the wormwood liqueur's usual harsh, medicinal bitterness into something with more oak and a gentler finish.
Is Malort actually Swedish?
Its name and origin story trace back to Swedish immigrant Carl Jeppson in early-1900s Chicago, but the liqueur has always been made in the U.S. — today it's produced by CH Distillery in Chicago, Illinois.
