Lübecker Aquavit is a regional northern German aquavit that combines traditional caraway character with a pronounced fruit component from locally sourced apples. After distillation, the spirit undergoes maturation in sherry casks, where it develops its golden colour, added depth, and notes reminiscent of dried fruit.

The profile is built on two elements: fresh apple aromatics from regional fruit and classic Kümmel notes typical of North German aquavit. The sherry-cask resting phase enhances both components, softening the spirit and adding subtle oxidative sweetness and complexity.

According to the producer, Lübecker Aquavit returned to the market in 2024 with this refined recipe, positioned as a digestif especially suited to hearty regional dishes.
