List of Akvavit producers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Akvavit is distilled in several locations by a number of different producers. Most small distillers founded in the 1800s have now been bought out by larger concerns, so distillation is performed by a surprisingly small number of companies. For example, the Arcus group has a monopoly in Norway. Below is a list of aquavit distillers and brands organized by the general location of the distiller. Note that Vin & Sprit AB of Sweden has subsidiaries in several countries. It is also the owner of the Absolut Vodka brand.
