Lysholm Linie Aquavit PET

Norwegian Linie Aquavit is famous for its unique voyage, a tradition which has played a significant
role in the maturation of Linie for more than 200 years. In 1780 Catharina Lysholm built the vessel
“Trondhiems Prøve” in collaboration with her brother, an important tradesman. In 1805 the ship left
for the East Indies, with a cargo of potato spirit and other types of merchandise. Five casks of the
spirit remained unsold and were sent back to Norway in 1807. On their return, it was discovered that
the flavour of this well-traveled aquavit had become more smooth and the taste enhanced by the
journey. Linie Aquavit was born. To this day, every bottle of Linie Aquavit carries details of its four
month sea voyage in sherry casks. On the back of the label you will find the date of departure, the
date it returned after crossing the equator twice, and the name of the ship.
