Linie Aquavit advertises that it ages its spirits on ships going around the world (because sea air at different latitudes causes different aging characteristics). You can enter the serial number from your individual bottle to see what ship it was aged on and what route it traveled. It is totally unclear to me whether this is just a marketing gimmick or if there is an actual difference, I just don't have the palate to know for sure.
But on casks on a boat is a little different than at the literal bottom of the sea, so this article still managed to surprise me. Haha.
