Kummel, also called kummel or kimmel, is a sweet, colourless liqueur flavoured with caraway seed, cumin, & fennel.

It is re-released today with the same powerful, lifted aromas & refined taste it became known for more than 150 years ago. Combier Kummel is best served cold either neat or over ice. ...

Original Combier, the world's first triple sec, is made according to the exact specifications of a proprietary recipe created in Saumur, France in 1834 by Jean-Baptiste Combier & his wife Josephine.
