Distillery Information

Asbach Uralt is a German brandy produced by the company Asbach GmbH, a subsidiary of Underberg AG, which also makes other spirits and chocolate. Its history dates back to 1892 when Hugo Asbach (1868‚Äì1935) founded the company in the town of R√ºdesheim am Rhein. Asbach, a native from Cologne, learned the distillery trade at the local “Export-Company for German Cognac” and further improved his knowledge in France. He founded his own company on 11 May 1892, distributing domestic “R√ºdesheim Cognac” which soon became popular. After World War I, when the Treaty of Versailles decreed that the word Cognac could only be used for French products, Hugo Asbach coined the term Weinbrand for German brandy,[1] which in 1923 became an official classification according to German wine law.
