Killing all the flavor. Only ignorant people put Akevitt in the freezer. It should always be served at room temperature. 🙂 And for us Norwegians it is usually combined with food, but of course it can be enjoyed single.

I imagine the characteristics of Aquavit would be entirely different if Dill was actually used, it has a distinctively different flavour from that of Caraway

That’s probably just an issue of the distributors in your area… Linie might be the only thing they have licensed. I’m in Kentucky and have been able to find a decent range of bottles, which I know for a fact are coming from different local distributors.

I want to order or purchase it in the Denver, Colorado or St. Louis, Missouri area. I also would order it from Norway. Please let me know if this is possible. Thank you.
