Asbach Privatbrand 8 Year Old Brandy (75cl, 40%)

Asbach Privatbrand is an 8-year-old brandy made from selected wines, distilled in the traditional German Weinbrand manner. The distillates mature for at least eight years in small Limousin oak casks, then undergo Asbach's secret maturing and refining process before bottling at 40% ABV. Eight years of slow oxidation deepens the oak and fruit into a distinctly spicy, full-bodied spirit. Deep amber, with a fruity nose of dark chocolate, cedar wood, dried fruit, nuts, vanilla and spice; the palate is full-bodied and spicy, with strong fruit, almonds, spice, dried fruit, caramel and oak; the finish is very long, aromatic, ripe and warm.
