Product Description: Goldschlager is a distinctive cinnamon schnapps crafted from a neutral grain spirit base infused with premium cinnamon and complementary herbs and spices. Its most striking characteristic is the presence of visible, thin flakes of 24-karat gold leaf suspended throughout the clear liquid. Approximately 13 milligrams (roughly 0.20 grains) of gold leaf float in each one-liter bottle. The cinnamon flavor is bold, sweet yet intensely spicy, creating a distinctive burning sensation characteristic of cinnamon liqueurs. While the gold flakes are purely aesthetic and contribute no flavor, they create a visually spectacular appearance when the bottle is shaken.
