A tribute to King Knut Lavard, this aquavit echoes the heritage of Knutsgillena, networks that supported families in times of need. Combining distillates and macerates of dill, cumin, and fennel, Knuts Akvavit delights with a spicy aroma, featuring hints of citrus and a prominent dill character. The palate resonates with a harmonious blend of dill, citrus, and fennel, underscored by the distinctive flavor of dill.

Landskrona Akvavit stands as a modern, fresh, and aromatic spirit with rich South Scandinavian notes. Crafted with artisanal expertise, this aquavit is a testament to the distillery’s commitment to local produce. From elderflower and citrus aromas to mature kummin and a floral meadow, Landskrona Akvavit captivates the senses. The rounded yet distinct taste, enhanced by oak barrel aging, offers a balanced interplay of acidity, bitterness, and a gentle warmth that concludes with a dry finish.
