This: ”During the 1905 Russian Revolution,[2] the Blanckenhagen mansion was burned down. The distillery closed, and the entrepreneurial Mentzendorffs opened up the production of their own kümmel in France. Baltic Germans moved to Germany as tensions between Russia and Germany grew, and several distilleries in Germany produced their own versions of kümmel, where it is still known as Allasch and is a popular digestif.”

doesn’t seem to correspond with this: ”Invented in 1823 in Allasch, Governorate of Livonia, Russian Empire (now Allažmuiža [lv] in Latvia), a von Blanckenhagen family property,[5] it was widely popular and produced there until 1944 when the Soviet Union re-occupied Latvia and expelled ethnic Germans from the region.”

In the first snippet the von Blanckenhagen seems to have gone out of business in 1909, while they according to the second continued until 1944. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.174.122.180 (talk) 18:38, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've never tryed it, but I didn't realize this was an alcohol conisseurs website...... excellent.

it has become the accepted standard of kümmel quality for the past century. the last century or the XIX century? I suppose XIX so ill change it

Actually I suspect "the past century" is correct - meaning "for the last hundred years", not any particular century. This entire article seems to have been copied from a discussion at a drinks discussion board ([1]), the original poster didn't provide any sources at all.

I can't speak to the quality assertion, so I left that needed citation, but I did find a source for the "first produced by Bols" assertion. I can't find an english language nice primary (serious historical) source though. Consuelo D'Guiche 14:38, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On 09:18, 5 July 2008 an anonymous user at 62.194.112.107 editorialzed on the article page: "We in the Netherlands know the diference betwen caraway and cumin, there are two different words for them. Caraway is kümmel and cumin in komijn, very clear words for both different spices. German mixes the two indeed, but the Dutch know the difference, after all the VOC, Dutch East India company was responsible for bringing cumin and many other spices to the rest of the world from Indai and the Orient.", which I am moving here to the talk page and reverting.

OK, here is a quote from the Dutch wikipedia:

Kummel kan verwijzen naar: (...may refer to)

Karwijzaad (caraway)

Komijn (cumin)

Met een van bovenstaande gekruide likeur (literally: With any of the above spiced liqueur)

Source: http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kummel

So the situation in Germany and the Netherlands is quite similar. The only real difference is the fact that the German word for cumin is derived from the the word for caraway. BTW, we in Germany also know the difference between caraway and cumin! ;) In colloquial German caraway is called Kümmel and cumin is called Kreuzkümmel. However, the "full name" of caraway in German is Echter Kümmel.86.56.36.194 (talk) 19:55, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

what does this mean? source? vandalism?[edit]

"The Kummel consumption has seen a drastic increase across the whole of the UK since Angus Smithsons brainchild came to fruition and has flourished year on year. He even received an OBE for his services to the drink industry by creating a sporting event that was always promoted within the spirit of the game." 71.212.97.235 (talk) 06:01, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
