Brief Historical Timeline:

1805 - Lysholm ships aquavit to the East Indies, nobody buys it
1807 - Aquavit shipment returns to Norway, aged from the sea voyage
1821 - Current recipe developed
2103 - Over 2.5 million bottles produced that year
2018/19 - The Linie Proof live stream of a shipment of maturing aquavit

Key Cocktail:

Linie isn't really meant for mixing.

You simply drink it neat as they do in Norway. However, the Linie website has a few recipes.
