Aquavit No. 6
Flensburg, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
Aquavit No. 6 is a Flensburg-style aquavit produced by Rumhaus Johannsen and named after the company’s historic address in Marienstraße 6. It represents Johannsen’s classic house aquavit: a clear, traditional Kümmel-and-anise profile designed as a balanced, approachable spirit typically enjoyed after hearty northern German meals.
No. 6 is appreciated for its smooth, well-rounded spice composition, in which caraway and anise form the central aromatic structure without harshness. Unlike many aquavits promoted as “ice-cold only”, Johannsen explicitly recommends serving No. 6 chilled but not deeply cooled, emphasizing that too much cold would mute the flavor nuances.
Positioned as a dependable everyday aquavit from Flensburg, No. 6 continues Johannsen’s long regional tradition while remaining one of the distillery’s most accessible and widely enjoyed products.
