the most recent episode of the simpsons, 'coming to homerica', featured a very special surprise guest: aquavit! the scandanavian spirit, distinctive both for its caraway flavor and its method of aging - sailing the barrels across the equator and back, made its way into springfield with the wave of fargo-esque accented immigrants from the next town over.
moe, that intrepid entrepreneur, started serving it in the bar...
...to the detriment of homer's heath the next morning.

there's currently a bottle of linie aquavit in our bar, thanks to my recently-returned-from-sweden roommate. the stuff is alright, but not remarkable. it just gets mixed up in my head with all of the other gnarly, anise-tasting national spirits (ouzo, raki, arak...).
