Aquavit



Linie Aquavit - Skal!

Norway is proud to offer one of the world's smoothest aqauvit's. This is the Linie (means 'equator') Aquavit (means 'water of life'). This special spirit must make two crossings over the equator in the holds of the Wilhelmsen Line's ships on their pasages to and from Australia. The spirits roll around inside the oak casks and are subject to sharp temperature changes. Historically, the label we see today on the Linie Aquavit would indicate the name of the shp on whch the aquavit travelled and the dates of the voyage.
