This past weekend il digestivatore travelled east to the former Soviet bloc state of Estonia. Although life might have been rough in Tallinn during the Cold War, at least the people had Vana Tallinn to keep them warm after a long dinner (wow, tight joke).
Anyway, after my dinner at the medieval themed “Hansa” Restaurant in the old town of Tallinn, my waiter (dressed in peasant clothing dating from circa 1355) suggested I try the Vana Tallin, a traditional rum based liquor tasting faintly of vanilla and cinnamon. While not terrible, this digestivo was fairly run of the mill and had no remarkable qualities except for the fact that it is the only digestivo I had a chance to sample whilst I was visiting my brother, l’Artista (a reluctant fan of the old digestivi), who was putting on art shows for an art collective situated in a converted Soviet toy factory. Not your typical weekend, but a new digestivo has been discovered! And that’s pretty much all that matters.
Overall Rating: ★★☆☆☆
Il Digestivo 
Hi, saw your post, i live in Helsinki (so quite near tallinn – a place I love)…i’m curious about the art collective because that’s really the kind of thing i like – is there more information online about when they have shows? if possible i would maybe try to attend the next one
Yes, well I can give you the name of the collective, Culture Factory Polymer, but I’m not sure when they have their shows. I was the there the week of August 16th, when they had a week of exhibitions and parties all throughout the factory and the whole operation was pretty cool. Here is there website: http://www.kultuuritehas.ee/. Hope this helps!
thanks for that!
