Anise has a liquorice flavor, but lacks the 'saltiness' of salmiakki/salmiac (ammonium chloride) that the Finns are so fond of. Must admit I'm still working on developing my taste buds for that one. Pretty sure I wouldn't have a problem liking the Gammal Norrlands though.

Re: Dipping sauces (4.00 / 3)

The thing is, it's smooth. I hate those aquavits that burn.

Mind you, I've spent the last hour discussing Kosovo brown coal Alpha and Bravo plants with the MI guy - which somewhat mitigates the effects of the aquavit - in any direction.

You can't be me, I'm taken

Bäska droppar, flavoured with wormwood... ;)

My favourite is Reimersholms Herrgårds aquavit, which tastes a bit of whiskey.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

Presumably one could do a kinda tequila thing and take the salt before the schnapps.
