Bäsk

Bäsk is a Swedish-style liquor flavored with wormwood ("malört" in Swedish) or anise.[1] Sweden is one of the few countries that has never banned absinthe or other wormwood-flavored liquors. Bäsk is an old alternative spelling of the word besk which means "bitter".

Bäsk is said to be good for digestion,[3] and therefore is traditionally associated with fatty foods.
