 History and background:
 Aalborg Christmas aquavit is a Danish classic, first launched in 1982 and quickly became a beloved part of the Christmas table. Every year the decoration on the bottle and gift box changes, and every three years the bottle shape also changes – but the aquavit inside remains the same year after year. The original Christmas aquavit. The 2019 vintage continued the tradition with its iconic bottle and high quality, and is a prized collector's item.
