Aalborg Taffel Aquavit (700ml)Copenhagen, DENMARK$74. 99Bottle$899.88 DozenABV: 45%Aquavit (or Akvavit), literally translated as "water of life", is a traditional pale grape or grain spirit first distilled centuries ago in the pastoral regions of Northern Italy, France, Sweden, Iceland and Denmark. The best known brands are the Swedish O.P. Anderson , the Norweigian Gambol of Linie and the Danish Aarlborg.
The recipe for classic Aalborg Taffel Akvavit has been the same for more than 150 years and its consistent quality has confirmed Akavavits position as Denmarks national drink. The Danish poet Jørgen Vibe wrote: "Aalborg Taffel Akvavit lights the fires of delight. And keeps our spirits burning bright".
Other reviews... Crystal-clear in appearance, the nose exhibits distinct caraway character. An extremely pure caraway flavour dominates the palate filling every corner of the mouth followed by a faint trace of orange. This is a full bodied akvavit, best served chilled as an accompaniment to herrings on rye bread or other full flavoured seafood and spicy dishes. Its versatility as an aperitif should not be underestimated. 45%Alc./Vol.

Aalborg Jubilaeums Aquavit (1000ml)Copenhagen, DENMARK$89. 99Bottle$1079.88 DozenABV: 40%Aquavit(or Akvavit), literally translated as “water of life”, is a traditional pale grape or grain spirit first distilled centuries ago in the pastoral regions of Northern Italy, France, Sweden, Iceland and Denmark. The best known brands are the Swedish O.P. Anderson , the Norweigian Gambol of Linie and the Danish Aarlborg. The drink, traditionally made with carraway and an arak spirit base was supposedly discovered by alchemists searching for the secret of eternal youth and beauty. The akvavit produced for the first two hundred years or so was not particularly attractive however - in fact, it was actually a bit cloudy and coarse. But ever since Aalborg began production in 1840, the golden, crystal-clear drops of this particular beverage have been a pleasure both to look at and to taste. To be at its best, Aquavit should be served in small aquavit glasses and chilled. We discovered this enthusiastic description of how Aquavit should be imbibed in an old Norweigan cook book:
"There is solemnity in the ceremony of drinking aquavit. One lifts one's glass and holds it with loving patience, while joining with the others in a bacchanal hymn, ending on as high a note as one's voice will reach.Then one makes an all-inclusive sweep with eye and glass, drinks the aquavit in one gulp, finishes the song on an even higher "tra-la-la," and then bites into the herring previously placed on a piece of bread. The second glass is usually served only half filled but is drunk with the same profound ceremony and there is a promise in the song of a third glass."
Aalborg Jubilæums Akvavit is a fine example of the spirit. It was created in 1946 to celebrate the centenary of AALBORG TAFFEL Akvavit. Golden in colour Aalborg Jubilæums Akvavit posesses simple, elegant aromas. The characteristic flavour of this clean and fruity akvavit is dill in combination with coriander with a trace of star aniseed and citrus. Like most Aquavit, it is perfect for fish - preferably oily fish fried in the pan. Duck and chicken with a light gravy also make a perfect match. Best served chilled. 40% Alc./Vol

Linie Aquavit (1000ml)Oslo, NORWAY$99. 99Bottle$1199.88 DozenABV: 41.5%Aquavit – or "Water of Life" is Norway’s national spirit. The most famous of these is Linie. Produced from potatoes, Linie receives an infusion of caraway and other herbs to complete its fragrant, attractive character.The spirit is matured in sherry casks while on board cargo ships that voyage to the Southern Hemisphere and back (and sometimes further), crossing the equatorial line twice – hence the name ‘linie’=‘line’. The length of the trip, the perpetual rolling and the alternation of heat and cold works the spirit into the grain of the oak casks, contributing flavour and also infusing Linie with its pale gold colour. This tradition has been in continuous practise for over a century when it was first noticed that one particular batch of Aquavit, recently returned from Australia aboard a cargo clipper, had been imbued with an exceptional mellowness. The name of the ship in which each batch of Linie Aquavit is matured is indicated on the bottle label.
Aquavit is most frequently enjoyed straight and in Denmark & Scandinavia, is still used as an accompaniment to traditional seafood and salty, pungent dishes. Many Norwegians regard Linie as the essential companion to pork and other fat meat.
Linie has a limited shelf life of approximately two years. Avoid exposure to sunlight.
Other reviews... One of my all-time favorite spirits that I’ve not reviewed since 2003. Pale gold in color; unblemished clarity. First sniffs respond favorably to the delicate hints of caraway seed, rye bread dough and fennel – a fantastically inviting and understated opening bouquet; after another seven minutes of exposure to air, the aromatic profile focuses mostly on the caraway seed, but also entering the picture are subtle notes of chalk, Amontillado sherry, baker’s yeast and mint – an amazingly complex bouquet. Entry is seed-like, toasty, bready and peppery; midpalate shows more of the sherry aspect along with deep notes of oak and resin. A sublime, delicately bittersweet and woody end tops off a great spirit experience.
