7 fascinating facts about Vana Tallinn

• It takes almost a month to make Vana Tallinn, and the process is largely done by hand.
• It takes the master distillers even longer to make Vana Tallinn Glögi – a whole eight weeks, because first they have to make infusions of herbs and spices. The glögg is then prepared, followed by cold-processing and filtration. Only then is the glögg bottled. Vana Tallinn Glögi is the best-selling and most popular glögg in Estonia. Warming spices play an important role in the flavour and aroma of the glögg made from the classic Vana Tallinn liqueur and high-quality red wine. Vana Tallinn Glögi can also be enjoyed at the fabulous Tallinn Christmas Market on the Town Hall Square (until 8 January 2023).
