The base is the same, pure neutral alcohol but an Aquavit is spiced with Caraway and or Dill seed and also other spices. Traditionally drunk in the Scandinavian countries as a Shot together with food, in particular when a Swedish smorgasbord is served.

For non Swedes: Skåne Aquavit is the second most sold Swedish Aquavit after O.P. Anderson Aquavit. It was launched in 1931 when there was a demand for a milder less spicy aquavit. Yes, it is true. It was based on the recipe of O.P., and to make it milder they simply halved the amount of the same spices (Caraway, Aniseed, Fennel)

O that was a hard one ;) But I would say that it was a the 5:th of May this year when we opened our new Aquavit distillery in the city of Sundsvall in the middle of Sweden. That was a really nice and rewarding moment!

Well I have tried some weird spirits.... Spirit with flavor of ants, not so dramatic in taste, a bit sour. Then of course snake infused spirit, rather common in Asia, a bit scary but not tasting a lot. Mustard and garlic may sound good but are really awful in practice.

Aquavit of course! I always have a couple of different products with different spicing at hand to get the most of out of the taste combinations with the different dishes. You should select the type aquavit to fit with the food since the spirit will enhance the taste of the food and if the spicing also fits it will be amazing!
