Goldschläger is a Swiss cinnamonschnapps (43.5% alcohol by volume or 87 proof; originally it was 53.5% alcohol or 107 proof),[1] a liqueur with very thin, yet visible flakes of gold floating in it. The actual amount of gold has been measured at approximately 13 mg (0.20 gr) in a one-litre bottle.[2] As of January 2021[update], this amounts to €0.66/US$0.75 on the international gold market.[3]
Goldschläger was produced in Switzerland until the 1990s. The brand was acquired by Diageo, which moved production to Italy.[1] In 2008, Global Brands Limited (UK) purchased the brand as part of its portfolio and production returned to Switzerland. In November 2018, Diageo agreed to sell Goldschläger as part of a 19-brand portfolio of spirits brands to the New Orleans–based U.S. distiller Sazerac Company as part of a $550M deal.[4]
The German word Goldschläger ("gold beater")[5] refers to the profession of gold leaf makers who beat bars of gold into extremely thin sheets.
