Slesvig Akvavit is a 40% vol aquavit whose aroma is obtained by macerating selected herbs and spices before distillation. The resulting distillate is matured in ex-sherry barrels, which contribute to its soft and rounded character. It is described as a particularly mild digestif that can be enjoyed even without chilling and is intended as a pleasant finish to a meal. As a regional element, porse is included in the distillation, a plant that still grows in certain locations near the Danish border. The aquavit is fully distilled rather than based on added herbal extracts and is developed and matured in the Dolleruper Destille.
