aquavit - "the water of life": to be served at room temperature or slightly chilled
Linie Aquavit - shipped once across the equator and back again, before it is bottled. Transporting it around the seas of the world and the resulting changes in temperature play a decisive role in the maturing and the mild flavoring of Linie Aquivit. After distillation, the liquor is laid down in used sherry casks made of oak and sent once around the world via Australia. Because of the constant movement of the ship the aromatic flavorings contained in the wooden casks are imparted to the spirit."引自 Norway
