Good things from Düsseldorf

While the quality of Düsseldorf beer is a matter of debate, at least in the Rhineland region, there is one beer that is even enjoyed in Cologne: the famous Düsseldorf herbal liqueur Killepitsch. This has been made for over 40 years from the essences of 98 different berries, herbs and fruits. These mature for a whole year in ancient clay vessels and are finally bottled in the distinctive Killepitsch bottle. The exact recipe is still a family secret and is passed down from generation to generation. To ensure a consistently high level of quality, only natural raw materials are used. In addition to the herbs and spices, this is a double-finely filtered alcohol.

From the bomb shelter to the bars of the world

Killepitsch has its origins in an air raid shelter. Old friends Hans Müller-Schlösser, the creator of the "Schneider Wibbel", and Düsseldorf veteran Willi Busch were there again. While the "bombs" were falling outside, Willi said to Hans, "If it happens again, they'll kill us too." Hans replied, "But not Willi, before we two have a tasty one." The two of them weren't able to "pitch" any more that evening, but as they survived the "bombs" attack unscathed, they still had enough time. The innkeeper Hans Müller-Schlösser tried out numerous recipes and finally served his friend a homemade bitter at the opening of his tasting room "Et Kabüffke". The two friends called it "Killepitsch" in memory of the nights they spent together in the bunker. The "strong, not so sloppy, not so better" liqueur quickly spread throughout the Rhineland and eventually to the rest of Germany.

Kill the Bitch

It's nothing new that German herbal liqueurs are very popular in the USA. Jägermeister now makes 40% of its sales in the USA - more than in Germany or any other country! Killepitsch is also becoming increasingly popular with Americans. However, since they have always had problems with the German language, Killepitsch is called "Kill the Bitch" there. "Kill the Bitch" is enjoyed in America neat or as Pink Pussy Juice. This is 2 cl Killepitsch with 4 cl pink grapefruit juice on ice cubes. Dirty, but Nice!

Gin Pitsch Düsseldorf Dry Gin 0,7L 44%
Gin Pitsch Düsseldorf Dry Gin 0.7L 44% Gin Pitsch – A Düsseldorf Dry Gin Pink Gin is the younger brother of the legendary herbal liqueur Killepitsch, which comes from the Peter Busch liqueur factory, founded in 1858. Behind the Rhenish factory there is a truly funny story about two old friends. The basic idea came during one of the two's many conversations. When the two friends Willi Busch and Hans Müller- Schlösser once sought shelter in an air raid shelter when bombs were flying outside and the noise from outside was really frightening, Hans said to Willi: If it happens again, they'll kill us too". But not Willi, before the two of us have had another tasty treat", replied Willi, which was probably meant more as a joke. Shortly after that night, Hans Müller, who was already working as an innkeeper at the time, set about developing his own fine herbal liqueur that would be remembered forever. At the end of his development phase, he introduced Killepitsch, which was made from a double-filtered alcohol. Word quickly spread throughout the Rhineland about what a fine herbal liqueur had been created, and it wasn't long before it conquered the whole of Germany. Now for the new Düsseldorf gin: It is therefore only natural that some botanicals from Killepitsch have also found their way into Pink Gin...it is known that 18 herbs and spices are used in gin, a few well-known ones include juniper and citrus fruits. It impresses with its very soft and mild taste. The design of the Gin Pitch bottle also shows where this fine juniper schnapps comes from. Pictured here is the impressive skyline of Düsseldorf. So if you are already a fan of Killepitch, you shouldn't miss out on trying this new creation from the product portfolio of the Peter Busch liqueur factory. But this new, exceptional gin is also highly recommended to all other gin lovers!

Jägermeister Manifest Herbal Liqueur 1,0L 38%
Jägermeister Manifest Herbal Liqueur 1.0L 38% Wolfenbüttel The year was 1934, when Curt Mast, son of a vinegar manufacturer, had refined his devotion and passion for spirits down to the smallest detail and wanted to make a breakthrough with this. Manifest – it's the difference that makes it The latest Jägermeister is based on the original recipe from 1935 and a few other botanicals. However, to give this liqueur a unique note, it was stored in small and large oak barrels for a year after distillation. This is a little longer than usual for the original Jägermeister. This gives the herbal liqueur not only its balanced aroma but also fine wood notes. Essentially, the manufacturing processes are not that different from those of the original Jägermeister. However, these small details sometimes make a big difference. The nose first reveals the typical herbal notes such as anise and an aroma of dried fruit, which turn into spicy notes with the familiar bitterness on the palate. The finish then reveals additional soft vanilla aromas and the expected wood aroma.

Jägermeister herbal liqueur set 2 x 0.5L 35% including 2 shot glasses Jägermeister, or "Jaeger" for short, is Germany's export hit in terms of spirits and is one of the best-selling brands worldwide. This version comes with an exclusive bottle can. There seems to be almost no bar in the world where Jägermeister cannot be found. Originally a more regionally distributed brand, clever marketing and the help of Sidney Frank (responsible for the global success of Grey Goose Vodka) achieved the stroke of genius and established the rather conservative drink in a young, drinking-happy target group. Jägermeister herbal liqueur is distilled from around 56 different herbs, fruits and roots and is sweetly spicy, with delicate bitter notes and fruit aromas dominating.
