History,
Aalborg Jubileums Akvavit was launched in 1946 in honor of Aalborg’s 100th anniversary.
Tasting Notes,
Nose: Aalborg Jubiläums Akvavit begins with a milder, less classically aquavit nose than others. The dill is present, but less assertive. Hints of woodruff with coumarin notes, as well as fresh cut oak boards (with a little hint of saw dust). It’s enjoyable, if a touch esoteric. The relationship to Aalborg Taffel Aquavit is superficial and in tribute only. This is a wildly different drink.
Palate: Sipped, Aalborg Jubiläums Akvavit shows off its complex and somewhat surprising botanical bill. Hints of vanilla kissed bison grass, bitter orange zest and caramel candy early. Mid-palate dill seed brings a spice-forward note that has some hints of caraway, but with an herbal glow suggestive of the cooling notes from basil or tarragon. Dusty coriander, dill seed and crisp, toasted, oak come through towards the finish. It’s moderately long on the palate, with heat lingering with hints of tarragon and licorice root.
