Christmas Akvavit De Danske Spritfabrikker 2014
The 2014 Jule Akvavit is produced by De Danske Spritfabrikker in Denmark. This aquavit is bottled at 47% alcohol in a 700 ml format. The producer holds the prestigious classification of Purveyor to the Royal Danish Court.
The 2014 edition marks the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Dybbøl, a significant event in Danish history. While the battle was driven by politics, historical accounts reveal moments of fraternization between Danish and Prussian soldiers. Distilled spirits, which were part of the soldiers' field rations, became a focal point where enemies gathered during brief moments of peace on the battlefield.
The motive on this bottle is inspired by an original copper engraving from the period, depicting a Danish and a Prussian soldier making a toast. By commemorating this anniversary, the release highlights both the historical conflict and the story of brotherhood that emerged amidst the war.
