Asbach Uralt German Brandy is the original, or as the label states “Das Original” German Brandy. This is the company’s core brandy. Asbach Uralt has become a symbol of German brandy excellence and is highly regarded both domestically and internationally. In the UK it is particularly popular with British servicemen who were stationed in Germany.
Asbach is one of Germany’s most famous brands. Asbach history goes back to the year 1892, when company founder Hugo Asbach left his adopted home country France and made his dream of an own company come true in Rüdesheim on the romantic Rhein. He had previously acquired a high degree of know-how of distilling wines from renowned French distillers, and he made use of this knowledge to achieve an ambitious goal: to create a product equal to French cognacs and at the same time to cater to German tastes. To day the company is a subsidiary of Underberg AG, which also makes the famous herbal digestif, other spirits and chocolate. The Asbach range of brandies consists of this, the Asbach Uralt, a 3 year old, the 8 year old “Privatband”, a 15 year old and a 21 year old. They have also recently released a coffee and cream liqueur.
Asbach Uralt German Brandy is considered the German quality brandy, a contemporary premium specialty with a long tradition and unequalled quality. Selected wines, profound experience, and a high degree of diligence in production define its character. The result of all these efforts is a pleasant agreeable taste and a harmonious bouquet. After a long process of multiple distillation the spirit comes off the stills at 75% ABV. Asbach Uralt German Brandy is matured for at least 4 to 5 times longer than required by law, first in French Limousine oak barrels and then in larger German Spessart oak barrels.
The label on the bottle is based on the original document on which Hugo Asbach wrote down the recipe in 1892.
Bottled at 36% ABV.
