Description:
Asbach Spezialbrand is aged for 15 years.

Carefully selected distillates from the choicest wine-growing areas and a storage period of at least 15 years in casks of Limousin oak are necessary to make Asbach Spezialbrand.

It fascinates due to the way it perfectly balances elegance and exquisite harmony with the full-bodied aroma and characteristic strength of particularly old distillates.

Review: The German equivalent of armagnac. Smooth as melted ice cream with a caramel/vanilla nose. Beautiful long finish that makes you smile as you realise you've discovered a gem. Has to be a benchmark to measure all else by. Love the fancy box it comes in too.

Review: WOW! That is what I say about this. It is the best brandy I have had since leaving Germany 15 years ago. This makes its younger brother taste like water and that is an amazing brandy as well. If you like your Brandy, I strongly Suggest you at least try this, if you do, you will love it for the rest of your life.

Producer Information

Hugo Asbach, merchant and distiller, founded Asbach & Co. in R�desheim on the Rhine on 11th May, 1892. A legend is born as the then 24-year old sets up a business with just two stills. Hermann Asbach, one of the three sons of Hugo Asbach, who is later become the owner of Asbach, is born in R�desheim on March 18th, 1894. Expansion of the firm when the Albert Sturm family of wine merchants joins.This gives the firm the economic means to produce a brandy able to prevail in the seemingly all-powerful competition from France. During World War I, it is decided in 1917 that Asbach Uralt cannot be supplied to private customers in order to guarantee the rations of the German navy. Only pharmacies can still be supplied.
Hugo Asbach dies at the age of 67 on July 24th, 1935. Following Hugo Asbach's death, his two sons Hermann and Rudolf Asbach and their uncle, Franz Boltendahl, take over management of the firm.
Asbach is one of the very first firms to use the new medium of television for its advertising. Everyone knows the slogan "Asbach Uralt - the perfect way to celebrate" and it becomes a household name. The firm of Asbach celebrates its 100th anniversary. A century in the service of enjoyment comes to an end.
The firm has every reason to celebrate as it looks back on its long tradition and forward to a new millennium. In March 2002, Semper idem Underberg AG acquire 100% of Asbach GmbH.
