Absinthe Eichelberger 58 Blanche

Eichelberger Blanche has less alcohol than the two Eichelberger Vertes. The taste is something unique, not comparable to a Suisse Blanche, in addition, the mouth feel is more herbal and the nose has less of the honey like smell that Suisse Absinthes are known for. Overall a decent Blanche, but our favorites are still the Vertes.

• 58% alcohol
• 0.5 liter / 16.89 fl.oz

Eichelberger - Absinthe distillation with tradition:

A great-grandfather of the Eichelberger family, Eduard Heinrich Nötzel, lived from 1800 to 1874 in Danzig. He assumed ownership of the wood wholesale trade business of his father but expanded the business very soon. The advertisement in the old newspaper „Neuesten Wegweiser für Fremde und Einheimische" shows, that he started to offer different spirits and essences, including an „Extracte d`Absinthe“. In his tavern "Zum Elefanten" ("To the Elephant"), the label shows the tavern and the elephant, his specialties were offered. His son, Otto Luis Nötzel, continued the flourishing buisness. Unfortunately he died young and his son was too young to manage the company. Therefore the business was shut down around 1900. Due to the two world wars the history of the family heritage was almost forgotten...

Until in 1997 the Wild family started again with the production of Absinthe in the Eichelberger distillery.
