A Conversation for I'm New - What Do I Do Now?
Gammel Dansk Bitters
cactusflowers Started conversation Oct 9, 2009
Good day,
It is October 9, 2009 and I have a question for anyone who knows all about Gammel Dansk Bitters.
In 1985 I received a bottle of Gammel Dansk Bitters from visiting friends from Denmark. It has never been opened, kept in a cupboard and I am curious as to the shelf life of my bottle of Bitters. The appearance through the dark bottle seems cloudy. If I were to open the bottle, how would I know if it is good or not?
Your help and suggestions will be appreciated.
Thank you. I am

no worries whatsoever, cactusflowers, gammel dansk will keep (sort of*)
it's not called 'gammel* (=old) for nothing
some of us even prefer an aged bottled of gammel dansk
*hard to find though 
should i come over and help you empty it?

it's definitely not the best rocket fuel .. even though it may burn or explode if not handled with care ..
I think it's best, and safest, to drink it

Thank you Mr. Pirate, Since my Gammel Dansk Bitters is safe to drink, and after reading all the positive effects it provides, I do believe it will be the perfect tonic to clear my throat tomorrow before I sing at church and elsewhere on other occasions. I do appreciate your kind offer to come over and help me drink this aged potion, but I think it can be rationed out and used over the next few months or so. If it helps clear my vocal chords, then I will be tempted to contact my friend in Denmark (if he's still around) for some more Gammel Dansk.
God bless,
Cactusflowers

You went to York, Pierce? I didn't know that. I went to uni there.

Gammel Dansk is an excellent cold remedy. Works wonders with cold weather as well.
