THE KÜMMEL STORY

Kümmel has been around since the 16th century, first distilled in the Netherlands before finding its way across the Baltic States and into the hands of people who clearly had good taste.

By the mid 19th century it had become a staple of British members clubs, where it was quietly credited with settling stomachs, calming nerves and generally making everything a bit better."

The Golf Connection

A First Tee Tradition

When Prestwick Golf Club hosted the first Open Championship in 1860, Kümmel was already there. The pioneering clubs of the Victorian golf boom adopted it as their post-lunch ritual, sipped on ice in ice cold glasses. For a while, it was everywhere. Then, slowly, it disappeared to the back of the shelf. We think that's long enough.
