When Okanagan Spirits got the news that Canada was quickly running out of Aquavit / Akvavit, and just in time to prevent the many thousands of Scandinavians boarding their longboats in traditional Viking dress, we came to the rescue.

Following traditional distilling methods, Aquavitus is a sophisticated blend of Caraway, Fennel, Coriander, Anise, Dill and Juniper berries. This product comes with our guarantee that whole herbs and spices were used with no essences, artificial flavours or chemicals added.

2007 | "This Canadian aquavit is excellent. I would rate it a 9/10."

2007 | "Rich and hearty with the essence of caraway, more velvety than the boring Aalborg that we used to buy... A world-class aquavit."

- Jurgen Gothe

Take a trip through the history books and you will find that almost every country had its own version of this spicy spirit so the only surprise is that our Canadian Aquavit should have taken so long in coming.

Our history lesson will also tell us that Aquavit was considered to have medicinal qualities and was taken to cure many ailments back in the 15th and 16th centuries.

Although we cannot stand behind this claim we can assure our customers that our 'Aquavitus' has no artificial flavours, preservatives, chemicals or sugars hidden in its ingredients.
