I heard that Aquavit is a popular drink in Scandinavian countries, especially Norway and Sweden. Could anyone describe what it tastes like and how to drink it. Would also like to know alcohol content and whether is is sold in Canada and the U.S. The Swedes live long, so it must be healthy.

Yes you can get it in the US
