1-Enkelt is a Danish bitter and the name translates in English to “only one”/“just a single one” meaning they encourage you to only have a single serving of it. As far as I know, that’s the meaning of the name. Also, Marius is completely right that “enkelt” means “simple” in both Norwegian and Danish, but it’s not the (primary) meaning of the word in this case (as far as I know)😊 Maybe Norwegians don’t use the word “enkelt” as in “single/only one” but only use the word “eneste” in this meaning. EDIT: Actually, I am partially wrong. The name “1-Enkelt” refers to both the fact that they encourage you to only have one serving and also that it is a simple bitter (because it only contains 9 botanicals).
"en enkelt" works the same in Norwegian to mean "just one". Although in informal daily talk you'd of course just say "en dram" instead of "en enkelt dram" if that makes sense (unless you really want to drive home that you're serious about only having one haha). "Eneste" is used more when referring to things or people i/e "the only one(s) left"
I really love these, even though I'm never gonna drink them. I learn a lot about both of you, which is always fun for fans. I hate those wooden-topped rubber-corked stoppers!! I will go one or two years (or even only 6 months sometimes) without using an open bottle and invariably the wood breaks off the rubber cork! I have to get a pair of pliers (now a regular bar tool for me) to get the cork out. Good thing I've learned to keep all the ones (from other bottles) that don't break in a drawer so I can replace the broken ones.
Making herbal liqueur and snapps seems to be a tradition in Scandinavia. Many years ago my parents and I were on vacation in Sweden and, since we were going to be in Kalmar, a colleague of my mother's invited us to stay several days at the country house he kept on Öland (an island just off the east coast near Kalmar). After dinner, he invited my parents (I was way too young) to sample his homemade herbal snapps. Since he was also a Professor of Chemistry at one of the major Swedish universities, it was, needless to say, *very* smooth. At least according to my parents.
You should do an episode on Swedish gin! The gin scene in Sweden is absolutely booming right now. Hernö gin has gotten a lot of international attention, but there are many more good brands. You also have Stockholms Bränneri and Norrbottens Destilleri. Maybe Marius can pick some up?
Cool to see you trying nordic stuff. Enkelt 1 and Råstoff aren't really considered that good in Denmark. It's mostly 14-18 year olds who drink it, almost as a novelty at parties, kinda like how Malört is often drunk because it's gross. Danes do love their liquorice-flavoured drinks and their bitters though. Fernet Branca is probably the most popular bitter here but Gammel Dansk is also common. Bitters especially have a reputation for being 'an old mans drink', and havn't really found much popularity with younger people other than as a novelty.
I did not know Marius is Nordic. I guess that explains his modern Viking ferocity. When one lives in a land where it's dark and winter and cold for six moths out of the year, one needs the comfort of many varieties of alcohol. Nonetheless, this stuff must be very potent if Leandro is already getting sloppy at 2:53. And, again: anything Licorice-y is banished to the Ninth Plane of Hell! Baldur: a little sweet, a little spicy...remind you of anyone we know...? Yet, again, Norse god or not: banishment!

It comes from the tradition of a single morning dram before you left for work.

Dane here.
1 enkelt translate to "just a single one" which is a saying in Denmark.
You want a dram? yea, just a single one.
Same in Norwegian :)

There's never too much star anise when you are a true Italian

Totally off-topic here I know but it just struck me that Marius looks a lot like Tony Hawk lol
Hebral?
Means entirely something different in California...
