Samlaender Aquavit is a German aquavit with an alcohol strength of 38% ABV, bottled in 0.7 L format.
It is a non-aged aquavit based on neutral (agricultural) alcohol. According to historical references, the style is derived from East Prussian (Ostpreußen) traditions, where aquavit was produced from grain or potato-based спирт and flavored primarily with:
- caraway (Kümmel)
- dill seeds
The current version is positioned as a mild aquavit, with reduced intensity compared to traditional Scandinavian styles. No full botanical list is disclosed, which is standard for спиртные напитки under EU labeling rules.
