A closely guarded recipe including the finest, ultrapure alcohol and 29 herbs and spices from almost every continent of the world, such as Chinese star anise, cinnamon, cinchona bark, absinthe wormwood and rhubarb roots, is giving it a distinctive "bitter taste". This characterful recipe has helped Gammel Dansk to cult status and high estimation – according to the typical Scandinavian tradition among both strong men and women. Gammel Dansk represents the strong taste of Denmark and is very sought-after in Germany. There is no one like Gammel Dansk!
