Linie is a renowned brand of Norwegian aquavit, a traditional Scandinavian spirit. Its identity is built around a truly unique and legendary production process that has been carried out for over 200 years. The name "Linie," which means "line" in Norwegian, refers to the equator, as the aquavit is aged by being sent on a sea voyage across the globe.

The tradition began in 1807, when a ship carrying barrels of aquavit returned to Norway after a long journey to the East Indies. The crew discovered that the spirit had a remarkably improved flavor and smoothness after crossing the equator twice. This serendipitous discovery led to the establishment of the brand's signature maturation process. Today, every bottle of Linie aquavit still travels in oak sherry casks on a four-month sea voyage around the world, crossing the equator twice.

This unique aging process, combined with the spirit's base of potato alcohol and a blend of botanicals like caraway, star anise, and fennel, gives Linie its distinct and complex character. The journey imparts a smoothness, a gentle sherry influence, and notes of wood and spice, making it a celebrated and sought-after spirit with a story in every bottle.
