Gammel Dansk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gammel Dansk is an extremely popular alcoholic beverage in Denmark, which can also be drunk in the morning with the breakfast meal. Its name translates directly from Danish as "old Danish".
Gammel Dansk is an example of what is called a bitters, and was originally created to become a competitor on the Danish market to other bitters such as Underberg and Fernet Branca. It is brewed with a great many herbs and spices, making it similar to other stomach bitters, such as Peychaud's Bitters, Campari or Jägermeister. These herbs and spices include rowanberry, angelica, star aniseed, nutmeg, anise, ginger, laurel, gentian, Seville orange and cinnamon.
Gammel Dansk is produced by De Danske Spritfabrikker A/S (The Danish Spirit Companies, Inc.) in Dalby, Denmark in southeast Zealand (Sjælland).
