SERVING TIP
Serve it in a “Whisky – nosing” – glass. Pour to you reach the widest part of the glass, then the Aquavit will have the right amount of oxygen which releases the aromas and gives the fluid a better taste.
WITH FOOD

DID YOU KNOW
“Jolablot” was an old celebration where the Vikings sacrificed in honour of the Midwinter’s day, January 12. However, it is somewhat unclear what people really celebrated. Some claim it was in honour of the sun, waiting its return. Others claim that it belonged to the fertility god Frøy. Some also believe that the celebration could be in honour of the dead.
