Linie
A fine Norwegian aquavit aged in a fabulous and unusual manner; Linie is taken in sherry casks for a four month quest, sailing to Australia and back again before bottling. This results in many changes of temperature, speeding up the maturation in a very curious way!

Seeing Paddy and Chris on BBC One, drinking Scandi "Firewater", reminded me of a college dabble with Aquavit. It was like acidic pear juice and put me right off. Now in my 50s, and loving a good Islay Malt, I thought "let's have another crack". Searching reviews, I settled on Linie as I felt it had the right number of "Marmite" reviews. What a choice! Warming without pain, herbal withou being medicinal, a good long finish on it. Sold! I am now ensuring a bottle has permanent residence!
There are many aquavits but this is my favourite, and I like the story of its maturation too.
I had a tipple of this in Oslo and loved it. It's a bit much for me neat, so I mix it with cranberry juice and tonic water, over ice! Excellent service, quick delivery with amazing packaging!
My Norwegian friends introduced me to this years ago . Loved it then and love it now! It was just a shame it’d not available other than online , but my delivery was good and speedy ! Wish I’d perhaps waited as the price has dropped snd you get a free Santa gift now ! :-(
A timeless classic. Don’t serve to cold though, just slightly chilled
