Light and aromatic, piquant and refreshing, our unaged aquavit is infused with caraway and cardamom, inspired by the flavors of sweet rye bread, and named for our Illustrious Lake Superior.
Aquavit is the original Scandinavian distilled spirit and the foundation for excellent Nordic-leaning cocktails—but can also help you weather the squalls like a Viking. Skål!
Nature’s Superior GIFTS—Distilled
Aquavit is the original Scandinavian distilled spirit. It’s infused with caraway and cardamom, fundamental spices in Scandinavian cuisine. An early Norwegian version was aged in oak barrels on ocean voyages to Australia. According to Norwegian lore, it was something magic about the two trips across the equator that made it so delicious. Call it the audacity of the immigrant, perhaps, but we tried to make our aquavit better, and more approachable, than the Norwegian and Danish ones with which we grew up. We conjured the spirit of our bearded Viking ancestors as well as the culinary background Scandinavian immigrants brought to America and rounded out the traditional caraway spice with flavors inspired by limpa—a sweet rye bread.
