Der Lachs - Original Danziger Goldwasser is a historic herbal liqueur originating in 1606 from Gdańsk (formerly Danzig) and today produced under the German distilling group Hardenberg-Wilthen. This unique liqueur is distinguished by flakes of 22-carat edible gold, which give it a luxurious visual appeal and the status of a symbolic drink throughout history.

The recipe combines more than 20 carefully selected herbs and spices, including orange peel, cardamom, cinnamon, lavender, coriander, and anise, resulting in a complex, rich, and well-balanced aromatic profile. Over the centuries, Goldwasser has been enjoyed at European courts and among the aristocracy, and legend has it that it was favored by Russian Czars Peter the Great and Catherine the Great. Today, Original Danziger Goldwasser is produced with full respect for the original recipe and traditional distillation methods, while adhering to modern quality standards.

It is served as a digestif, neat or over ice, and is often used in cocktails to add aromatic depth and the visual effect of gold flakes. This liqueur remains one of the most recognizable symbols of German-Polish drinking heritage and the luxury segment of the world’s liqueur market.
