Product Information

Later, in 2018, Diageo sold the Goldschlager brand to the United States-based company, Sazerac. The Sazerac company is home to many other famous brands like Buffalo Trace, Van Winkle, Blanton’s, Eagle Rare, and many others. Bitter-sweet opening with some citrus zest and notes of star anise and liquorice. The mid-palate becomes peppery, with notes of sage, rosemary and cinnamon. The finish is warming with dark coffee and ginger. Summary Nonreactive metals can pass right through your digestive system without being absorbed. Don’t be surprised if you see some gold flakes in your toilet after a night of Goldschlager shots. At least that’s how it seemed to Wayne, who muses about its seeming disappearance in the early 2000s.

The spirit base for cordials is often neutral, but it certainly doesn't have to be. A robust spirit like whiskey, for example, can mix beautifully with other flavoring agents. Common flavors include fruits ranging from stone fruit to citrus and berries to nuts, as well as coffee and chocolate and even aromatic spices and seeds. Some liqueurs include a touch of cream to round out the other tasty elements.

Goldschläger, a sweet and syrupy cinnamon liqueur whose popularity peaked in the 1990s, is best known for its titular ingredient — flaked gold. It is said that Goldschläger was an imitation of the original liqueur produced by the German firm Danzig-the Goldwasser, which was produced in 1606. Although the gold flakes weren’t part of the original recipe, they were just added because they were thought to be capable of aiding in the treatment of certain illnesses. While many other distillers and liquor companies typically have several varieties, Goldschlager only offers two.

Ultimately, the question of whether one spirit is better than the other comes down to personal preference. If you like a strong cinnamon flavor with a fiery burn then Goldschläger might be your preferred choice; however if you're looking for something smoother and easier to drink then Fireball could be better suited for you.
