Production of Asbach Uralt Brandy 0.35l by Asbach

The foundation of this brandy is formed by selected wines from traditional growing regions. The cellar masters pay attention to clean, aromatic base wines with clear fruit character. After fermentation, these wines are transferred to the still. This is where the journey toward fine brandy begins.

During distillation, the distiller carefully separates the heads, hearts and tails. Only the aromatic heart cut proceeds to further processing. This separation ensures purity and clarity in the aroma. Distillation takes place in copper stills that have been in use for many years. The copper helps bind unwanted substances and gives the spirit its fine structure.

After distillation, the young brandy matures for an extended period in oak barrels. This is where the characteristic aromas of oak, caramel and vanilla develop. Barrel aging also gives the spirit its deep golden color. Over time, fruit, wood and sweetness combine to form a harmonious whole.

The barrels are stored in the cool cellars of the Asbach wine distillery in Rüdesheim am Rhein. The calm climate and the distillers’ long experience shape the style of the house. Various barrel sizes are used for Asbach Uralt Brandy 0.35l by Asbach. Small barrels provide intense woody notes, while large barrels contribute soft maturity.

At the end of the maturation period comes the art of blending. Different batches with varying barrel aging are brought together. The cellar master selects each component with precision. The aim is a consistent character that has reflected Asbach’s signature for many years. After blending, the brandy rests once again before being adjusted to 36 percent alcohol by volume with spring water. The result is a harmonious, rounded spirit that gleams in the glass.
