North Sea Oil

North Sea Oil is an excellent drink. Didn’t have exact ingredients but was my first time with aquavit. Really liking the taste.

That sounds great. I don't have any of that shit.

If you don't have any Laphroaig on hand, you can substitute a different whiskey shaken well with a full cigarette ashtray.

or just any other Islay scotch if you don't smoke and don't have an ashtray

That’s sounds really tasty. I do wonder why they specify ‘combiner’…that’s a hill no one needs to die on lol

This has been on my list forever! Aquavit is common by me and so is always writing down recipes that use it.

Akevitt (Aauavita) is caraway spiced (+more depending on brand) and barrel aged in sherry casks. "Linje" specifically is aged on Wilh.Wilhelmsen ships going to the southern hemisphere, crossing the equator twice. (Hence the name "line") You can see the name of the boat on the backside of the label. The rolling of the waves and the heat from the sun somehow helps with the maturing stored alcohol.Not sure about what to substitute aquavit with tbh.
Edit: Funny name, combining alcohol from Norway and Scotland.

Fun fact: As a kid, I crossed the inner-German border in Berlin frequently before the Wall came down. At the Friedrichstraße subway station, they used to use a floor cleaner with a very dictinct phenolic smell to it. So whenever I have an Islay whisky, I cannot help but remember these days before 1989.

You just reminded me of the Newport shot: 1:1 mix of mezcal and branca menta.
Way better than it sounds too.
