Aalborg Jule Akvavit rests on ancient artisanal principles. This is why it has its high strength, high cumin content and rustic taste. The recipe has remained the same since its launch in December 1982, but the bottle and packaging have varied from Christmas to Christmas. The alcohol percentage is high and is exactly 47% vol. This corresponds to 8 degrees spendrup, which was the measuring unit for alcohol at the end of the 1800s.
Aalborg Jule Akvavit is made from distillate of cumin, dill and coriander seeds. It has a robust character of cumin in aroma and taste with a fine aftertaste of orange, almond and citrus. A taste and quality that impressed the panel of judges at the International Wines and Spirits Contest (IWSC) - where this year's Aalborg Jule Akvavit 2023 was honored with a beautiful gold medal and a whopping 95 points out of 100.
