Description

A bottle of Mentzendorff Creme D'Allash Kummel, a caraway liqueur made in Russia to an original Latvian recipe. We estimate this was bottled in the 1930s to 1940s.

Allasch is a variety of Kümmel caraway liqueur. In 1823, Dutch Baron von Blanckenhagen established the Allasch distillery on his country estate near Riga, Latvia, so he could produce his family’s personal kümmel recipe: a distillate of cumin, caraway, and sugar beet spirit. Ludwig Mentzendorff first brought Mentzendorff Kummel to London in the 1850s.

Please note, there is no size or ABV stated on the label, but this appears to be a 70cl bottle.
