Goldwasser (22-carat gold liqueur) · Gdańsk
A herbal liqueur with cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, lavender, coriander and juniper, suspended with flakes of 23-carat edible gold. First distilled in Gdańsk in 1598; the Der Lachs brand name followed in 1704.
Ambroży Vermöllen, a Dutch Mennonite from De Lier, took Danzig citizenship in 1598 and began distilling the herbal liqueur that became Goldwasser. In 1704 his grandson Salomon moved production to a Breitgasse (today ul. Szeroka) house whose salmon (Lachs) sign gave the brand its Der Lachs name. Catherine the Great and Peter the Great drank it, and the recipe still ships under Der Lachs.
