Gammel Dansk Bitter Dram

Gammel Dansk Bitter Dram is a bitter rowanberry liqueur from Denmark. It has been produced since 1964, and its long tradition is confirmed by the name "Gammel Dansk," which means in transcription literally Old Danish.

It is a liqueur that prides itself on not having a bitter-sweet flavor or medicinal notes. It has perfectly harmonious flavours - none of them stands out above the other. All that is known about the carefully guarded recipe, is that the basis contains berries of the rowan bird's, and total of 29 botanicals and spices such as ginger, nutmeg, anise, archangelica root, and cinnamon. All the botanicals and spices are macerated in pure alcohol for 3 months after being mixed in the right proportion. Then tis the liqueur softened with adding water to a final 38% alcohol content, which goes into bottles.

The design of the bottles will surprise you with its light twist. It was designed by architect Bent Severin from the former Danish glass factory Kastrup Glasværk.  Thanks to the long, specially shaped neck, you will hear a characteristic chuckling sound every time you pour from the bottle.
