Default Hakan, how about aquavit?

In 1954, I had lunch outside Copenhagen with the directors of the Danish affiliate of a company my father worked for. They served it as an aperetif and said to drink it "neat" (in one quick swallow) rather than sipping it. It burned going down; but later left a wonderful warm glow in the pit of my stomach. A wonderful Scandinavian custom!!
