More information about Blomendahl "Alter Schwede" Herbal Liqueur
An astonishingly complex and elegant herbal liqueur with a long history.
“Alter Schwede” is a mild herbal liqueur specialty whose history dates back to the Thirty Years’ War between Catholics and Protestants from 1618 to 1648. The recipe is very elaborate. We use 200 different herbs and spices in its production. The result is a very smooth, mild, and easy-to-drink liqueur, without any bitterness and with only a hint of sweetness.

It is incredibly versatile and can be used in many cocktails, but can also be enjoyed neat or on the rocks. Alter Schwede is produced in our distilleries in South Africa and Germany and was awarded the Michelangelo Gold Medal in 2019.
