Brennivín

Unsweetened, spice-flavored schnapps particularly associated with an Icelandic winter holiday. Traditional schnapps is a generic category for non-specific usually-unaged German distilled grain spirit traditionally drunk as a shot, often with or around food. It is not the same thing as the liqueurs which state their flavoring component and then append the word “schnapps” thereafter. A person desiring "cinnamon schnapps" would have an abrupt and harsh reaction to traditional schnapps—and vice versa.
