The World in Liquor

Vana Tallinn – Estonia

The tiny country of Estonia has their own special liqueur, that’s made from a base of rum. Vana Tallinn has a spicy, citrusy taste, and although it’s produced by an Estonian company, it can be found relatively easily all over the Baltic states. Liviko, the company that produces Vana Tallinn, has tried to create an origin story and mythology for the sweet liqueur, but it’s mostly an advertising campaign—it was first produced in 1960. In addition to their regular brand, they also offer several seasonal options which include Vana Tallinn Coffee or Vana Tallinn Chocolate Cream.
