Linie Aquavit 700ML

Linie Aquavit is Norway’s iconic aquavit, distilled from potato mash and flavored with a traditional Nordic blend of caraway, star anise, herbs and spices. What sets it apart is its unique aging method — after distillation it matures in Oloroso sherry oak casks that are sent on a long ocean voyage, crossing the equator twice. This sea journey softens and rounds out the spirit, imparting depth, complexity and a distinctive golden hue.

Tasting Notes:

Aroma: Aromatic caraway and star-anise spice meet gentle herbal undertones, with faint vanilla and sherry oak richness.

Taste: Smooth and well-balanced — caraway-driven warmth with licorice and light anise, subtle oak spice and a hint of sherry-cask sweetness.

Finish: Long, dry and pleasantly herbal with lingering caraway, soft wood spice and anise-tinged warmth.
