Circa 1970’s Asbach Uralt Grape Brandy (Vintage)

Asbach Uralt is a distinguished German brandy (Weinbrand) with a history dating back to 1892. It was founded by Hugo Asbach in the town of Rüdesheim am Rhein, located in the heart of the Rhine Valley.

Over the years, Asbach Uralt became one of Germany’s most beloved spirits, often enjoyed neat, in coffee, or as part of cocktails. The brand’s enduring popularity is a testament to its quality and the legacy of its founder, Hugo Asbach, who helped elevate the reputation of German brandy on the international stage. This bottle was distilled in West Germany. Exact production date unknown. Production range believed to be in the 1970’s.
