Eichelberger 80 Brute absinthe is the younger version of Eichelberger 68.
Eichelberger 68 Limitée was the winner of a contest organized by a German absinthe forum (Absinth-Guide). Wanting to improve the image of German absinthes, fifteen members of the forum developed quality distilled absinthes. The winning recipe was Michal Weinzierl's, and just 60 bottles of this delicious distillate were made. It was so popular, that the eichelberger distillery decided to incorporate it into their range of products.
Michael Weinzierl, the creator of the recipe for the Eichelberger 68 absinthe, chose the Eichelberger distillery because it was close to his home town. It is a family distillery that is run by Lili and Rudolf Wild.
In 2005, they started the production of the first authentic German absinthe. Five quality absinthes followed the first one: Eichelberger 58 Blanche, Eichelberger 60 Verte, Eichelberger 70 Verte, Eichelberger 70 Classic and Eichelberger 80 Brute.
- At first, savour Eichelberger 80 Brute with half a piece of sugar. Then, add more or less according to your taste.
- For one measure of absinthe (3cl), add 2 to 5 measures of fresh water.
The Eichelberger Distillery is located in the southeast of Germany, in the forested Bavarian region called “Oberpfälzer Seenland”. The distillery is a family business, and developed from a hobby to a serious enterprise. Dr. Lili and Rudi Wild, married for a long time, followed their dream and opened a small distillery.
It is quite modern, and capable of distilling just 30 liters at a time, but the couple always pay attention to the quality of their results. The Wilds are passionate advocates of fine liqueurs and eau-de-vies, and were enthusiastic when approached with the idea of making a ‘specialist's' absinthe under their distillery's name, which has now become the first modern, yet traditionally distilled German absinthe: The Absinthe Eichelberger.

Added on the : 14/03/2017 EnglishTrue brute Blanche that Eichelberger is known for. A bit sweeter than the 68 yet with a stout octane that leaves only the brave or seasoned to venture into the multiple refills. A solid go to for those who enjoy a robust Blanche !

Added on the : 25/01/2017 EnglishLike the rest on the Eichelberger line, an acquired strong flavor with a hint of sweetness known for with many blanches. Overall subtly smooth when enjoyed with just cold water in a 1 to 1 or 2 to 1 ratio.

Added on the : 17/11/2011 EnglishSomething amazingly clear and special. Delivers a unique, wormwoody-minty, candy-like, yet very natural connotation which I have found only in German absinthes so far, but it's at its best this time. No scent of alcohol even when undiluted. Very much saturated with oils, and gives an extremely silky finish.
