Description
Discover the exquisite taste of Carlshamns Flaggpunsch, a traditional Swedish liqueur that takes you on a delightful journey through Nordic history. Originating in the 18th century, this unique blend is crafted using an original 19th-century recipe, showcasing a rich and full-bodied arrack character complemented by a harmonious sweetness.
With its roots deeply embedded in Swedish culture, Carlshamns Flaggpunsch has earned its place as a cherished beverage among both the elite and the everyday consumer—making it a true icon of inclusivity. The vibrant blend features Batavia Arrack sourced exclusively from the Island of Java, Indonesia. This exceptional arrack is distilled from sugarcane and fermented red rice, then carefully aged in large teak wooden vats to develop its distinctive flavor profile.
Tasting Notes: Upon experience, this liqueur reveals a distinct aniseed sweetness, complemented by nuances of candied white sugar and a subtle hint of fresh liquorice. The rich aromas are met with bright notes of aniseed and a delicate tea-like character. The palate offers a warm, silky-smooth texture, finishing crisp and clean with a hint of citrus and gentle spices.
Whether enjoyed on its own or as a captivating component in cocktails, Carlshamns Flaggpunsch is versatile and celebrated. Consider the following serving suggestions to elevate your tasting experience:
- Enjoy warm at 40°C paired with a savory bowl of pea soup.
- Serve chilled as an apéritif or digestif for a refreshing conclusion to your meal.
- Mix with soft drinks or other non-alcoholic beverages to create a delightful spritzer.
- Use in a variety of cocktails, enhancing flavor complexity and providing a unique twist.
- Serve over ice for a revitalizing treat on warmer days.
To preserve the exceptional quality of your Carlshamns Flaggpunsch, store in a cool, dark place maintaining a consistent temperature between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F). Ensure the bottle is tightly sealed after each use to minimize oxidation and maintain the liqueur's flavor and aroma.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of liqueur it is best to maintain a consistent temperature between 15°C and 20°C (59°F to 68°F) to preserve flavor and aroma stability. Avoid temperature fluctuations as expanding and contracting liquid inside the bottle can damage the seal and accelerate oxidation.
Light exposure should be minimized because both sunlight and strong artificial light degrade aromatic compounds and color over time. Store the bottle in a dark place such as a closed cabinet or a liquor shelf with UV protection. Bottles with dark or coated glass provide additional protection against light damage.
Seal integrity is important to reduce oxidation. Ensure the bottle is tightly closed after use. Air exposure accelerates deterioration and flavor changes so limit oxygen contact to maintain quality especially once the bottle is opened.
Store the bottle upright to keep the cork or cap from drying out or contaminating the liquid minimizing air interaction. This also helps prevent cork degradation if a natural cork is present.
Maintain ambient humidity between 50% and 70% to preserve cork elasticity and prevent the cork from shrinking or cracking especially important for bottles with natural cork stoppers. This balance also helps avoid damage to labels and bottle exterior.
For unopened bottles these conditions will help prolong shelf life by maintaining taste aroma and appearance. For opened bottles stricter attention to sealing minimizing air exposure and storing away from light and heat is crucial to slow oxidation and preserve quality.
These conditions will best conserve the liqueur’s quality and extend its shelf life.
