Vana Tallinn · Tallinn
Estonian rum-vanilla-citrus liqueur, served neat as a dessert pour or stirred into coffee at the end of dinner. Recipe from 1960, drunk year-round.
Vana Tallinn (Old Tallinn) was created in 1960 by Estonian distiller Liviko in central Tallinn, with industrial production from 1962, combining Jamaican rum with Estonian vanilla, citrus oils and warm spices. The dark amber liqueur quickly became the country's signature dessert pour and a Soviet-era export across the Eastern Bloc. Today it remains the standard end-of-dinner spirit in Tallinn restaurants and the Christmas Market on Town Hall Square sells gluhwine versions through December.
