What it is

The Christmas cask: Gammel Opland — Norway's other akevitt icon (since 1872), matured longer in oak into a golden, softer style — the bottle of the Norwegian Christmas table and the lutefisk season. Origins: the Opland distillery tradition (Lillehammer region) codified the oak-aged Norwegian style alongside Linie's sea voyages. Made from: potato spirit, caraway and botanicals, long sherry-cask ageing. How it's made: 1) Distil spice essences. 2) Age in oak until golden. 3) Blend for consistency. Served: at room temperature with ribbe (pork belly), medister and surkål. Flavor: oak-mellowed caraway, dried fruit. Strength: 41.5%. Culture: between Linie and Opland, Norwegian akevitt spans sea and cellar — Christmas requires both on many tables. See also: Norwegian Akevitt (Linie).
