Danziger Goldwasser

Description

This is a version of the original Goldwasser produced in 1598 by the German firm, “Danzig”. The recipe did not always include gold flakes. These were added when it became thought that gold was valuable in the treatment of certain diseases. Gold, is of course totally inert - it is quite harmless to use in food products and has since been found not to impart the benefits the alchemists attributed to it. Pure gold is still added for the appearance and to maintain tradition. Originally produced from aniseed and caraway, this version from Der Lachs is a fine example of the liqueur.

Tasting note: Pours viscous and perfectly clear (bar the gold flakes). Engages with aromas of peppermint chocolate, cinnamon, white pepper and sweet oregano. Cream textured with sweet & spicy flavours of cinnamon, liquorice and black jelly bean. Concludes tooth-staining, well balanced and medium long. 40% Alc./Vol.

Single Case of 6
