Aquavit No. 5574 is a Mecklenburg-Vorpommern aquavit released under the F5 brand of Schwechower Obstbrennerei and marketed as a “DDR-Edition”. It is built on a classic northern botanical profile, featuring dill seed, fennel, aniseed, coriander, and citrus. The spirit is described as clear and aromatic, with a warm, mildly sweet undertone that balances its herbal and spicy components. The finish is long and herb-forward.

The designation F5 refers to the historic Fernverkehrsstraße 5, a major transit route of the former GDR connecting the FRG transit corridor between Lauenburg/Horst and Berlin-Staaken (1972–1987). Today known as the Bundesstraße 5, the reference is used by Schwechower Obstbrennerei as a regional trademark linked to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.

Aquavit No. 5574 is marketed as part of the distillery’s F5 product line, which also includes a mild Kümmel liqueur and various regional gift sets.
