  Gammel Dansk Bitter Dram 70 cl 38%

  Item no.: 222479-8859

  A distillery in Roskilde had too few orders and risked closing down. The solution became a bitter that today sits on more Danish dinner tables than almost any other spirit.

  Expert's description

  Gammel Dansk Bitter Dram is a Danish bitter at 38% ABV, bottled at 70 cl.

  Development began in 1964 under master blender J.K. Asmund, who as factory manager for Danske Spritfabrikker in Roskilde faced a pressing problem: the distillation plant had too few orders, and the factory needed a new product to survive. Three years later production began, and Gammel Dansk was created as a Danish answer to foreign bitters such as Underberg and Fernet Branca. The bitter is matured with 29 different herbs, spices and flowers, giving it a distinct, dry and aromatic profile with clear notes of herbs, liquorice, citrus and a lightly peppery finish.

  Tasting notes

  Nose

  Herbs and liquorice, with a hint of citrus.

  Taste

  Intense and bittersweet, with a clear spiced character.

  Dry and lightly peppery, with a warm close.

  Item no.: 22227865479-8860

  The same spiced institution, just in pocket format times three. A gift set that says more about Danish drinking culture than most bottles on the shelf.

  Expert's description

  Gammel Dansk Miniature Gift Set holds three miniature bottles of the Danish bitter Gammel Dansk, each at 3 cl and 38% ABV.

  The bitter was developed from 1964 by master blender J.K. Asmund for Danske Spritfabrikker in Roskilde, as a Danish answer to foreign bitters such as Underberg and Fernet Branca. The gift set holds the same recipe as the full 70 cl bottle, matured with 29 different herbs, roots and spices that give Gammel Dansk its distinct, dry and aromatic profile. The size makes the set a natural small host gift, an introduction to the classic Danish bitter tradition, or a way to build a collection of bottles to choose between.
