Gilka Kaiser Kummel Liqueur (500ml)

Caraway seeds are excellent aids to digestion which we eat in cakes and bread and also use to flavour liqueurs. The ancient Egyptians used caraway as a remedy for an unsettled stomach. It was profusely cultivated in Holland through the Middle Ages. The earliest recorded caraway liqueur was made by Lucas Bols in his small Amsterdam distillery in 1575. Bols was a man of dedicated talent who bought a variety of skills to his trade. He gathered from many regions natural ingredients through which he passed alcoholic vapours to produce new and subtle scents. To this day, the worlds finest Kümmels are produced in Holland. Gilka Kummel is a traditional, full bodied version of this classic digestive liqueur.

Tasting note: Inhalations detect caraway. Palate entry is intensely caraway seed-like and slightly coin-like; at midpalate, the caraway taste blows away any sense of coins/metal, ending up nicely in a firm, oily finish that’s concentrated and correctly seed-like. 38% Alc./Vol. Rating: 85-89 - tasting note sourced from www.wineenthusiast.comsize>
