De Danske Spiritfabrikker Gammel Dansk Bitter Dram

Bitter | 38% ABV

Commercial Description:

The real secret behind Gammel Dansk’s unique bitter flavour comes from the mixture ratio of the 29 different herbs, spices and flowers, which include angelica root, nutmeg, aniseed, ginger and rowanberries.

Until it was launched in 1964, J.K. Asmund and his staff were at complete liberty to mix ingredients until they came up with the right flavour. The Danish counterpart to the competing bitters from abroad was intended to be bitter (of course!) yet not too sharp.
