Linie Aquavit
LysholmKuvaus
It all started back in 1805, when aquavit was shipped to the East Indies. However the localpeople were totally uninterested in buying the aquavit, so it was sailed back to Norway. On itsarrival in 1807 it appeared that the sea journey in oak casks vastly had improved the aquavit’staste. Since that day every drop of LINIE has been sent on a sea journey to mature, crossingthe equator twice. LINIE challenges people to explore life and taste by finding new ways to enjoy LINIE Aquavit– for example in drinks, cocktails or with new types of food.

Norwegian Linie Aquavit is famous for its unique voyage, a tradition which has played a significant role in the maturation of Linie for more than 200 years. In 1780 Catharina Lysholm built the vessel “Trondhiems Prøve” in collaboration with her brother, an important tradesman. In 1805 the ship left for the East Indies, with a cargo of potato spirit and other types of merchandise. Five casks of the spirit remained unsold and were sent back to Norway in 1807. On their return, it was discovered thatthe flavor of this well-traveled aquavit had become more smooth and the taste enhanced by the journey. Linie Aquavit was born. To this day, every bottle of Linie Aquavit carries details of its four month sea voyage in sherry casks. On the back of the label you will find the date of departure, the date it returned after crossing the equator twice, and the name of the ship. Linie is a potato spirit flavoured with caraway and herbs. The combination of caraway/aniseed isprominent in the aroma.
