Aquavit, also called akvavit or akevitt, is a Scandinavian distilled beverage typically about 40% alcohol by volume. The name derives from Aqua vitae, Latin for water. In Norway, the drink is usually distilled from potatoes, and flavoured with caraway seeds, coriander, fennel, anise and dill. The colour ranges from clear to light brown, depending on how long it has been aged in oak casks. The Linie Aquavit is sailed back and forth across the equator, the belief being that the transequatorial journey adds to the taste. Originally, aquavit was used as a medicine, and supposedly helped for all sorts of sicknesses both internally and externally. Today the drink is especially popular in occasions like Christmas or the Norwegian Constitution Day (17. May), and is usually accompanied by a beer and good company.
