Kummel, also called kummel or kimmel, is a sweet, colourless liqueur flavoured with caraway seed, cumin, and fennel. Originally, the words kummel, kummel, and kimmel were somewhat generic terms in the German, Dutch, and Yiddish languages, respectively, meaning both caraway and cumin. Combier Kummel made its debut at the Combier Distillery in the mid-19th century satisfying the demands of British, Dutch, German and Russian elite enamoured with the liqueur\'s medicinal and aromatic properties. It is re-released today with the same powerful, lifted aromas and refined taste it became known for more than 150 years ago. Combier Kummel is best served cold either neat or over ice.
