Lonely Planet review

You can also see the house (from the outside only) where aquavit was first produced, in 1804, on Sommerfrydveien by merchant Johan Godtfried Schwencke in response to a royal decree that corn not be used to produce spirits. In late autumn, Drammen holds a national aquavit competition in which celebrities judge which is the best brand.
