As long ago as 1908, Hugo Asbach created the unmistakable Asbach Privatbrand - initially, strictly limited and exclusively for family and friends. Asbach Privatbrand is a composition of the finest single distillates. The youngest of them is at least 8 years old. The distillates are matured in small limousine oak barrels and later on in bigger casks of German oak. Finally, after the marriage of the single distillates, the cuvee is enobled by the secret Asbach maturing and refining process. Asbach Privatbrand owes its unique and incomparabley smooth taste to the distillation of selected wines only from the best wine-growing areas. Its full-bodied, mellow taste and distinctive amber colour make it a truly unique experience. Colour: Dark amber. Nose: Decidedly fruity with notes of bitter chocolate and cedar wood. Palate: Full-bodied and very spicy, a well developed flavour of fruits with background notes of almonds and spices. Finish: Very long, with full-bodied, aromatic and ripe notes.
