Aalborg Tæk Akvavit is the unchored king of aquavite – the original crystal clear Danish Commenakvavit. It was the focal winter Isidor Henius, who in 1846 first put the bottle with the characteristic red-white label at the lunch table, and it has remained ever since. Aalborg Tæk Akvavit – or Red Aalborg, as it is also called – continues to Denmark’s most popular spirits. It is both when the Danes cover up for lunch, and when the royal house invites to Table.
With its alcohol strength and strong complex flavors, the characterful Aalborg Tæk Aquavit is best cooled to strong Danish lunch dishes, especially the marinated herring. As well as the classic dinner dishes such as pork and rose.
