Gammel Dansk is a Danish bitters, and the name literally means "Old Danish". It was first created in 1961 and it is flavoured with herbs and spices including star anise, nutmeg, ginger, laurel, gentian, Seville orange, cinnamon and others. The recipe remains a secret.
Gammel Dansk is an acquired taste, but oh boy, is it ever good! We love it with coffee in the morning. It calms nausea and wakes you up, warms you up. Not sweet like Jagermeister, nor bitter like Campari, just perfectly in between. I wish I could buy it in Canada
Just tried it. Yuck.
I was introduced to Gammel Dansk by a Danish friend here in Colorado. She advised I must make three toasts, drinking one thimbleful of Gammel Dansk after each toast. Gammel Dansk tastes SO good, warms you when it's snowing outside, and brings friends together after a great meal. Drink Gammel Dansk! You'll be happier!
Born and raised in Denmark, i love it, a 2cl. shot with your breakfast make you feel upand go
One for the memory books, bit like southern comfort, soothing but too much is enough! I couldn't drink often, best saved for the flavour and occasion.
