Skåne Akvavit is a Swedish spiced spirit brand of the akvavit type. It is named for the province of Scania, which is called Skåne in Swedish.
Skåne Akvavit was first presented in 1931 as a less spiced version of O.P. Anderson.[1] Skåne Akvavit is spiced with caraway, anise and fennel.
Skåne Akvavit is produced at the V&S Vin & Sprit AB distillery in Sundsvall, Västernorrland County, Sweden. Vin & Sprit used to be state-owned, but was sold to French company Pernod Ricard[when?] to create more competition on the Swedish market. Skåne Akvavit was in turn sold to Altia which was owned by the Finnish State.
