Aquavit
Aquavit is a traditional Scandinavian distillate characterised by its distinctive spiciness and variety of flavours. We have three brands of this spirit, typically distilled with caraway and other herbs, in our range: Aalborg, known for its classic Danish aquavit, Linie, which develops a distinctive flavour through special maturation on the high seas, and Malteserkreuz, a classic with strong, clear flavours.
Our Aquavit Brands
Linie
LINIE Aquavit is a potato-based spirit distilled in pot stills with a special blend of Nordic herbs and spices that give it its characteristic flavour. After distillation, the aquavit matures in Oloroso sherry casks as it embarks on a long sea voyage, crossing the «LINE» not once, but twice. The result is an exceptionally soft and round aquavit with distinctive notes of caraway and star anise as well as subtle nuances of vanilla and sherry. It is on its journey across the equator that LINIE develops its unique and balanced flavour by being subjected to constant rolling and changing temperatures.
Aalborg
Aalborg Akvavit is the archetype of a clear Danish aquavit. The brand is known for its high-quality products, including Taffel, Dild and Jubileums. The Danes have nicknamed it ‘Rød Aalborg’, but it was given its real name in 1846 when it was launched by Isidor Henius - the man who brought Danish schnapps production to the level of quality it is known for today. Aalborg Akvavit is served well chilled and in small glasses.
Malteserkreuz
Danish aquavit had found many customers in the 1920s, particularly in vibrant Berlin. When high customs duties made it almost unaffordable, the Danes founded their own production facility in Berlin in 1924 for an aquavit that was to bear the name of the company logo: Maltese Cross Aquavit. Its production according to a Danish recipe based on extra-fine filtered alcohol, distilled crystal clear, results in its unmistakable spicy flavour. Malteserkreuz has a strong, spicy caraway flavour and is best enjoyed as an ice-cold shot at minus 18 degrees, i.e. from the freezer. The aquavit goes well either on its own or as an accompaniment to a cool beer. Malteserkreuz was named Brand Spirit of the Year at the Meininger's International Spirits Award 2020.
