Bornholmer Bitter

Bornholmer Bitter is a traditional Danish spirit originating from the island of Bornholm. It was originally created by factory owner C.P. Dam in Rønne during the 1920s. The recipe is a closely guarded secret involving a blend of various herbs, including galangal root, which gives it its characteristic spicy and slightly sharp flavor profile.

Over the decades, the production has remained rooted in Danish tradition. Today, the brand is owned by the United Drinks company, which specializes in the development and distribution of spirit brands. While its origins are deeply tied to the local culture of Bornholm, it has become a staple bitter throughout Denmark, often served at room temperature or as a 'snap' during traditional Danish lunches.
