Distilled near a world benchmark for air purity, 42 degrees below the equator and from GM Free wheat from the purist wheat-fields in the world.
Distilled three times, then the spirit is washed in spring water, reducing the level of alcohol to 6%. This cleans any remaining impurities. It is then distilled a fourth time to create totally pure spirit. This is high saturation distilling, with New Zealand Spring water, which is unique to 42 Below.
42 Below is a smooth, full, grain-based vodka similar in style to vodkas produced in Scandinavian countries, which differ from the potato and rye-based vodkas typical of Russia and Poland. A characteristic of grain-based vodkas is that they have a smoother taste than their rye or potato-based counterparts.

Aalborg Jubilaeums Aquavit is golden and elegant with a few simple aromas. Dill is encountered in the refined company of coriander, the prinme characteristic of this pure, fruity aquavit. Star aniseed and citrus can also be discerned, all nicely rounded off with a piquant, burnt quality suggestive of caramel. It was introduced in1946 to celebrate the 100-year jubilee of Aalborg Taffel Akvavit. Excellent with fish, in particular, fried fatty fish. Pickled duck or chicken with a full-bodied light sauce will also be enhanced by this charming aquavit.
The classic Aalborg Tafel Akvavit has an exceedingly pure aroma of caraway, supported only by the slightest suggestion of orange. It's body and aromas open up the taste. Friends of Aalborg Tafel Akvavit could say the same in 1846, as the recipe has remained unchanged ever since - and the result likewise. A crystal-clear aquavit, full of character, best enjoyed chilled as an accompaniment to herring and other good food, and preferably in cheerful company. It is the preferred aquavit of Danes and in 2002 was elected best aquavit in the world at The International Wine and Spirits Competition held in London.

Produced with double distillation in copper pot stills. You can drink Pisco ABA in a delicious Pisco Sour (Chileans' favourite cocktail), or mixed with Schweppes, Tonic Water or Ginger Ale (called chuflay in Chile), or simply neat on the rocks.
