Asbach Uralt Brandy 750ml
DescriptionExperience the soul of German brandy tradition with Asbach Uralt, a distinguished weinbrand that has defined German brandy excellence since 1892. This iconic spirit represents over a century of expertise in transforming fine wines into exceptional brandy through patient aging in Limousin oak casks. The name 'Uralt' meaning 'ancient' in German, reflects both the heritage of the brand and the extended aging that creates its distinctive smooth character.
The deep amber color with golden highlights speaks to careful maturation. The nose is immediately inviting—rich notes of dried fruits, particularly raisins and figs, mingle with vanilla and honey from oak aging. Subtle hints of dark chocolate, roasted almonds, and Christmas spices add complexity, while a delicate floral note provides elegance. On the palate, Asbach Uralt delivers remarkable smoothness—silky texture carries flavors of caramelized fruits, toffee, and gentle oak spice. The finish is warm and lingering with notes of vanilla and subtle tobacco.
What distinguishes Asbach Uralt is its uniquely German approach to brandy making. Using a secret blend of wines and specific aging techniques developed over generations, it creates a brandy that's distinctly different from cognac or Spanish brandy. The house style emphasizes smoothness and approachability while maintaining complexity. This balance has made Asbach Germany's most recognized brandy, enjoyed neat, in coffee, or in the famous Rüdesheimer Kaffee.
Best savored neat at room temperature or with a single ice cube. Traditional German service includes enjoying it alongside coffee or in sophisticated brandy cocktails. For those exploring beyond French brandies, Asbach Uralt offers a refined taste of German distilling tradition that proves excellence knows no borders.
