  • Isn’t Brennevin just a strong clear unspiced alcohol? Akevitt (Aauavita) is caraway spiced (+more depending on brand) and barrel aged in sherry casks. “Linje” specifically is aged on Wilh.Wilhelmsen ships going to the southern hemisphere, crossing the equator twice. (Hence the name “line”) You can see the name of the boat on the backside of the label. The rolling of the waves and the heat from the sun somehow helps with the maturing stored alcohol.

    Not sure about what to substitute aquavit with tbh.

    Edit: Funny name, combining alcohol from Norway and Scotland.
