Gammel Dansk

First introduced in 1964, Gammel Dansk is a Danish bitter, made from 29 different elements, including ginger, cinnamon, Seville oranges and nutmeg.

Traditionally it was drunk by Danes at certain festive occasions, often in connection with breakfast meals, brunch or at wedding anniversaries and birthday celebrations (which in Denmark traditionally begins in the morning). The name "Gammel Dansk" translates directly from Danish as "Old Danish".
