Description
Tke Kummel spirit retains the name of its founder, Ludwig Mentzendorff, who first brought Kummel to London in the 1850s at the behest of the Baron von Blanckenhagen. The Baron had established the Allasch distillery on his country estate near Riga in the 1820s to produce Kummel to his family’s private recipe. Since 1985, Mentzendorff Kummel has been distilled true to the original recipe by Combier Distillery in the Loire Valley in their world famous stills designed by Gustave Eiffel.
Mentzendorff Kummel is held in high regard by golf clubs who offer post-round doses of “putting mixture”, and with bartenders who appreciate its complex and stimulating flavour that is ripe for cocktail experimentation.
“Great complexity on the nose, displaying pronounced caraway spice and herbal gentian aromas, supported by a touch of petrol and nut oil. The palate is equally appealing, with a lovely balance between the unctuous, syrupy mouthfeel and lifted, tangy acidity.” 96 points Gold Medal by International Wine & Spirit Competition 2021.
