Aquavit
Aquavit is a distilled spirit of Scandinavian origin, of usually 40-45% ABV. It is made by redistilling rectified spirit of agricultural origin – most commonly potatoes or grain – with caraway and/or dill. Other flavourings include: fennel, cumin, anise, citrus peel, cardamom, grains of paradise and, in one case, amber. Aquavit has much in common with flavoured vodka, with a production process strongly resembling that of gin. Whereas gin, however, is very rarely aged in wood, aquavit is commonly produced in both aged and unaged varieties. More information on Aquavit
