Mentzendorff Kummel is a sweet liqueur perfect for sipping at the end of a meal.
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.
Caraway seeds are placed into vats with natural alcohol derived from sugar beet. The pot stills are steam heated for seven hours with steam passing under the stills at 152°C at 7 bar pressure. During the first distillation, the hearts and tails are retained, however the unstable heads are disposed of. The hearts and the tails then together undergo a second distillation from which only the hearts are collected. This clear, stable liquid is mixed with sugar and reduced to 38% abv with ionised water. It remains in vats for two months prior to bottling. It is then rinsed with a neutral spirit, filled and wax sealed by hand.
Upon its arrival in Britain, this clear, aniseed liqueur flavoured with caraway seeds made its mark on the British palate. Today, it 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 for cocktail experimentation.
Tasting Notes
A nod to the company’s heritage, with powerful, lifted aromas of aniseed, liquorice and cumin. The sweet liqueur has great complexity on the nose, with caraway spice and herbal aromas, alongside a touch of petrol and nut oil. The drink is in perfect balance, with tangy acidity perfectly offsetting its syrupy mouthfeel.
