Caraway is the primary scent, with undertones of pepper. On the palate, I detect notes of melon and apple, rather than the orange suggested by the label. The finish is fairly long but gentle, although the caraway's sharpness persists throughout.

A truly delightful akvavit, with a dominant caraway flavor. It's very smooth and mellow. I shared it with several individuals new to akvavit, which can sometimes be divisive, and everyone enjoyed it. It also offers good value.
Roasted caraway seeds with a delicate hint of orange citrus. It's savory and remarkably smooth for its alcohol percentage.
Prominent anise/caraway flavor with an orange peel finish. Good after a substantial meal.
Dominant caraway flavor. Lacks depth in other tastes.
A lot of caraway, which makes a cocktail truly unique.
