When exploring the tasting notes, one is greeted by a sunbeam-gold spirit that opens with delicate hints of vanilla-kissed bison grass and bright bitter orange zest. These aromas intertwine seamlessly with soft notes of fresh oak and subtle woodruff, layered with a spiciness from dill seeds for added complexity. The palate experience is rich and velvety, characterized by prominent flavors of dill, coriander, and accents of star anise and caramel, culminating in a smooth drinking sensation. As the last sip lingers, expect a warm embrace from the gentle warmth of toasted oak and herbal spices.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of Aquavit apply the following practical recommendations:
- Temperature: Store Aquavit at a stable cool temperature ideally between 55°F and 65°F (13°C to 18°C). This range prevents flavor degradation and maintains quality over time. It does not require refrigeration but avoid higher temperatures or fluctuations that can accelerate chemical changes in the spirit.
- Light Exposure: Keep Aquavit in a dark place away from direct sunlight or strong artificial light. Light exposure can cause oxidation and degrade flavor compounds so a dark cupboard or bar cabinet is recommended.
- Sealing: Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed to minimize oxidation once opened. Use the original cork or cap making sure it fits snugly. This helps preserve the delicate herbal and spice characteristics by preventing air ingress.
- Bottle Position: Store bottles upright rather than lying down. Upright storage prevents the spirit from contacting the cork or cap which can alter flavor and potentially damage sealing materials.
- Humidity: Moderate humidity levels are sufficient since Aquavit is not barrel-stored in the bottle. Extremely dry conditions could dry out corks over a very long time while overly humid conditions could promote mold growth on external labels but do not significantly affect the spirit.
- Special Tips: Aquavit generally does not improve with prolonged bottle aging so it is best enjoyed within a reasonable period after opening for freshest flavor. No special barrel-aging storage is needed for most Aquavits except some aged varieties that come pre-matured in casks but storage after bottling remains the same (cool dark upright).
For unopened bottles store in a cool dark cabinet at recommended temperature and upright; no refrigeration needed.
For opened bottles reseal tightly and store under the same cool dark upright conditions. To maximize shelf life after opening minimize exposure to warm temperatures and air.
These guidelines ensure preservation of Aquavit’s flavor profile and overall quality for long-term and daily storage.
