A historic punsch makes a comeback
King Carl's Punsch
Hotel Kung Carl is relaunching their own punch that dates back to the 1800s and is paired with innovative cocktails. In conjunction with the hotel's opening of the cocktail bar and Bistro La Belle Epoque, the Hotel Kung Carl punsch is also being reintroduced. The barrels that infused the punsch were previously stored under the royal palace, and the label is the original version preserved at the Spritmuseum.
Infused with oak barrels from the Royal Palace of Stockholm
Hotel Kung Carl’s punsch has been developed in collaboration with Norrtelje Brenneri, specialists in punsch. Norrtelje Brenneri managed Swedish history in liquid form in 2013, Fader Berg's oak cask. The oak cask, Bellmanliggaren Fader Berg, was filled with 1800 liters during the reign of King Carl XV, where they were preserved in the castle cellar until the mid-20th century. The Bellman punsch is extra dry and elegant, adding nuance to Hotel Kung Carl’s own punsch.
Perhaps punsch is the most underrated ingredient of bartenders. A "smoky fruitiness," similar to whisky meeting rum, but where the alcohol does not dominate the flavor in the same way, gives the punsch a "smooth" and "groovy" character, with colors and flavors coming together in a well-balanced way.
Our own Hotel Kung Carl Punsch has been developed by Norrtelje Brenneri and was relaunched in 2021 (the original was created in the 1880s) with a label preserved at the Spritmuseum.
“A well-balanced, less sweet and nuanced Punsch that has rested in a Bellman barrel from the late 1800s to give further complexity. The barrel originally stood in the castle where King Carl XV consumed the noble drink with great delight. We are incredibly proud to offer these drops of history!”
– Hans Bihl, Spirits Sommelier & Bar Manager, Hotel Kung Carl.
