USDA FoodData Central (SR Legacy) · 174818. FoodData Central carries no aquavit-specific record. Energy and macronutrients are carried from Alcoholic beverage, distilled, vodka, 80 proof (public domain), since an unsweetened flavoured spirit's composition is a function of its ethanol content alone; the caraway and other botanicals contribute flavour in quantities too small to move the figures. 40% ABV is the strength both O.P. Anderson and Linie, the two reference Scandinavian bottlings, are sold at, and the EU sets a 37.5% floor for the name.
