  Ækvator Danish Aquavit 70 cl 40%

  Item no.: 222278654231473-85

  The name isn't a coincidence - this aquavit has actually crossed the equator, twice, on its journey from Copenhagen to Cape Town and back. The result is a soft, golden aquavit with a voyage in every drop.

  The Expert's Description

  Ækvator Danish Aquavit is a Danish aquavit at 40% ABV from the tradition-rich house of Oskar Davidsen.

  The aquavit is matured in casks that previously held Madeira, and during maturation it literally sails across the equator twice on a voyage from Copenhagen to Cape Town and back. The temperature swings and the ship's movement along the way give the aquavit a special roundness and maturity. Behind the brand stands Oskar Davidsen, the renowned Copenhagen open-sandwich house founded in 1888, known for pairing classic Danish food with well-chosen aquavit.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  The nose is mild and inviting, with notes of Madeira-cask ageing, light spice and a soft sweetness.

  Palate

  The palate is soft and balanced with depth from the Madeira casks, alongside notes of caraway, red apples and finer spices.

  Finish

  The finish is long and aromatic, with a gentle warmth from the oak that rounds off the experience.
