Aalborg Jubilaeums Akvavit

Jubilaeums Akvavit from Aalborg is a golden aquavit made from a distillate of dill and coriander seeds, rounded with an extract of American white oak. It contains no caraway, which sets it apart from most aquavits. Dill and coriander lead the flavour, with star anise, citrus and caramel in supporting roles. It is a clear, bright light gold in the glass. The nose is very citrusy, with orange zest foremost and a touch of lime oil, along with liquorice-like dill and faint star anise. The palate is slightly sweet, with dill and citrus, orange in particular, and warming star anise.
