Kummel Mentzendorff

Notes - Mentzendorff Kummel has experienced a remarkable history since 1823. It all starts and revolved about an old Manor House, called Allasch, in Livonia about 40 kilometres from the Baltic Port of Riga. The Barons passed on old family recipe according to which they made for the enjoyment of their friends a Kummel Liqueur called Allasch Kummel. An export firm in Riga, named "Mentzendorff" suggested to the Barons that they should make the Kummel for export. Other European Liqueur manufacturers began to imitate the liqueur and closely copied the label, without succeeding however to match the genuine 'finesse' of the original Mentzendorff Kummel. Now, the Allasch Kummel is known under the Mentzendorff Kummel label. It is produced at Saumur, in France, by the oldest distillery in the Loire Valley, the Combier distillery which was founded in 1834. Kummel is a clear liqueur flavoured with anise seeds and caraway.
