Ga-Jol Liqueur

Ga-Jol isn't just a candy brand, it's the very taste of the Danish liquorice break. Now that iconic, salty liquorice flavour also comes as a liqueur, faithful to the sharp, unmistakable character of the cult yellow box. It's nostalgia with an alcoholic twist, loved or feared, but never ignored.

  • Clear shot bottle with pineapple-coloured liquorice liqueur
    Item no.: 22278-98596

    The blue Ga-Jol pastille's signature liquorice flavour meets sweet pineapple in shot form - a Danish classic with a tropical twist.

    Expert's Description

    Ga-Jol Ananas Liqueur is a Danish Vodka liqueur based on liquorice and pineapple, bottled at 30% ABV.

    Ga-Jol was created by Edvard Galle and Hans Jessen, who in 1872 started a confectionery workshop in a basement on Store Kongensgade in Copenhagen, and launched the iconic blue Ga-Jol pastille in 1933 under the slogan "Danish weather is Ga-Jol weather". Today, Ga-Jol shots are produced by the Danish, family-owned spirits company United Drinks in collaboration with Toms Gruppen, which owns the trademark, to ensure the original, well-known taste in liquid form.

    Taste

    The flavour is built around the classic Ga-Jol pastille's signature liquorice, which here meets a sweet, fresh pineapple flavour on a vodka base. The result is a cold, sweetish shot with an unmistakable touch of liquorice on the finish.

About Ga-Jol Liqueur

Ga-Jol Liqueur is a Danish liquorice liqueur built on the iconic Ga-Jol candy brand, known from its yellow box since the 1920s. For the newcomer it's a surprising experience: the same sharp, salty liquorice taste as the sweet, just in liquid form; for the connoisseur and the nostalgic Dane, Ga-Jol Liqueur is a fun discovery, often used for shots or as a spiced element in liquorice-themed cocktails.

History & Background

Ga-Jol was launched in Denmark in the 1920s by Galle & Jessen and quickly became one of the country's most recognisable candy brands, known for its sharp liquorice and salt flavour and its distinctive yellow box. The name Ga-Jol is a combination of the two founders' surnames, Galle and Jessen. The liquorice liqueur is a newer addition to the brand, created to translate the beloved sweet's flavour into a liquid, festive form and tap into the strong emotional bond many Danes have with the box from childhood.

Production & Style

The liqueur is infused with licorice and salmiak, giving it the same distinctive flavor as the original pastille.

Signature Style

Licorice, Salty, Intense
