Double A Akvavit is modern craftsmanship in its purest form – a fresh interpretation of a Nordic classic, distilled to perfection. Created in the heart of Aalborg by Volsted Distillery, it brings together herbs, citrus and tradition in one strong, characterful distillate.
Are you looking for an aquavit that dares to be both deeply rooted in tradition and yet innovative? Dobbelt A Akvavit fuses fresh citrus with warm spices and selected Nordic herbs – all gently distilled in small batches in copper stills at Volsted’s microdistillery north of Aalborg. The result is a harmonious and aromatic experience that elegantly elevates both the open-faced sandwich and the cocktail glass.
With its round complexity and refreshing profile, this aquavit is created for both the classicist and the curious innovator – perfect as a companion to the Danish lunch table or as a characterful base in modern cocktails. Experience Danish aquavit at its best – and most vibrant.
Aroma
The scent is clean, clear and herbaceous with a distinctive nose of caraway and dill that immediately awakens the senses. The nose also reveals subtle notes of citrus and a light floral edge that balances the classic spices.
A hint of fennel and anise unfolds as soon as the glass gets some air, and the overall scent is experienced as inviting, fresh and elegant – without being too heavy.
Taste
The flavor profile strikes the balance almost surgically: first a soft introduction of delicious citrus and green herbs, quickly followed by the classic, dry heat of caraway, dill and a hint of anise. The silky texture makes the aquavit pleasant to drink both neat and in cocktails.
The middle palette reveals fresh elements of lemon zest and coriander, which again bring air and lightness to the composition, while the spicy base creates depth. You get an aquavit that both surprises and engages – with plenty of character and without compromise.
