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 that

the flavour 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.

Spiritus, vand, krydderier.,with colourant

Linie er en kartoffelakvavit krydret med urter og kommen. Kombinationen af kommen og anisfrø dominerer aromaen. Noter af gammel sherry giver en fyldig og rund smag, hvor anis, kommen og eg giver kompleksiteten. Skibets konstante rullen og den skiftende temperatur og luftfugtighed på sørejsen giver Linie Aquavit en helt særlig blødhed. Lysholm Linie Aquavit har en tør, diskret og neutral smag, og den er ideel til røget laks, marineret fisk og andre retter, der er milde i smagen. Serveres bedst ved stuetemperatur.
