Vana Tallinn is the name of a liqueur, one of Estonia's hallmark products, manufactured continuously at Liviko since 1960.The spicy flavour of Vana Tallinn liqueur is derived from Jamaican rum, herbs, various spices from around the world, oranges and lemons. Only natural ingredients are used to make Vana Tallinn, including real vanilla pods. The recipe contains more than ten ingredients in total.
The recipe for Vana Tallinn (45% vol) was invented in 1960 by the master distiller Ilse Maar, the bottling manager Bernhard Jürno and the distillery specialist Jaan Siimo.
