This two bottle set is a perfect initiation into the Scandinavian spirit called Aquavit.
Produced since the 15th century, Aquavit is a Scandinavian spirit derived from potato or grain and characterized by savory botanicals, primarily caraway or dill. This two-bottle set is a perfect entry point. Aalborg Taffel delivers the benchmark. Clear, sharp, and herbaceous with a dry finish built for Norwegian bread and cold fish. Linie Original takes a different route, matured in sherry casks and sent across the equator, picking up a darker tone with notes of vanilla, oak, and spice layered over its caraway core. One is clean and direct. The other is rounded and traveled. Together, they map the range of aquavit in two pours.
