  Expert's description

  Dr. Nielsen Original Danish Bitter is a Danish bitter at 38% ABV, bottled at 70 cl, following a recipe from the 1930s.

  Behind the name stands N.K. Nielsen, who earned his medical degree in 1924 and opened his own practice in Hobro in October 1927. As a keen hunter and outdoorsman, he lived until 1937 in a wing of Hobro Apotek, where together with friends from the pharmacist family he spent many evenings developing the right bitter, an extract of 8 different herbs including bitter orange and star anise. Half a century later the family passed on the recipe, and in 1988 the bitter was launched commercially by Johs. M. Klein Distribution from Brondby. In 1997 it was awarded a silver medal at The International Wine and Spirit Competition in England, just 0.8 points from gold.
