Linie Aquavit 1983 (1L, 41.5%)

Linie is a Norwegian aquavit made from potatoes, distilled in 1983 and bottled in 1984 at 41.5%. Its character is rich and complex, with a number of spices and caraway the dominant one. Linie aquavit is sent on a sea voyage around the world to mature in old sherry oak casks, exposed to widely varying weather. This bottle travelled aboard Wilh. Wilhelmsen's M/S "Tourcoing", crossing the Equator (the "Linie") twice. It left in December 1983 and returned in March 1984. The constant rolling of the casks, with changing humidity and temperature, shapes the spirit during its time at sea.
