O.P. Anderson Aquavit One Liter, launched in 1891, is Sweden's
oldest and most celebrated Aquavit. Spiced with caraway, aniseed and
fennel, it is a perfect match for salmon, seafood, matured cheese and
Scandinavian cuisine.
O.P. Anderson Aquavit is the best-selling brand in Sweden
and, today, the world over, this iconic spirit is traditionally served as an aperitif,
while mixologists and consumers are increasingly enjoying its herbal flavorings
in all types of innovative drinks. O.P. Anderson Aquavit’s label was inspirited
by the mechanical industry of the late 1800’s when the brand was first made by
Olaf for Carl August, his father.
Like vodka, aquavit is a distilled liquor, but aquavit’s
distinctive aromas and seasonings come from a blend of herbal essences of
fennel, caraway, and anise, which are the classic aquavit spices. O.P. Anderson
Aquavit is made with Swedish (CK) wheat; in addition, the classic spices are
stored in oak barrels for six months, which add tannins and oak flavorings. At
40% alcohol, O.P. Anderson Aquavit is a versatile ingredient in new and classic
cocktails.
