Weinbrand Meets Auslese
Hugo Asbach founded his Rudesheim distillery in 1892, and after World War I he coined the word "Weinbrand" for German brandy when the Treaty of Versailles reserved "Cognac" for France. A&A carries that heritage in a different direction — blending the flagship Asbach Uralt with fine Auslese-grade Riesling for a liqueur that is fruit-forward, delicate, and unmistakably German.
