Absinthe Eichelberger Verte 70 Classic

Like all the Eichelberger Absinthes, this one convinces with a balanced taste. In comparison to the normal Verte 70, this Absinthe is distilled with premium wine alcohol (out of German "Federweisser" wine from the region Unterfranken). The Absinthe has a fruity smack, the mouthfeel is very creamy, perfect in our opinion!

• 70% 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.
