Escorial Riemerschmid Old Version Prestige Green Liqueur 1960's 56%

A Munich legend from when Escorial rivalled absinthe for the title of the city's cult drink - this bottle of green Escorial is a rare window into 1960s Germany.

Ekspertens beskrivelse

Escorial Riemerschmid Old Version is a German herbal liqueur from the distillery Riemerschmid, bottled at 56% ABV - this bottle is a vintage edition from the 1960s.

Escorial was developed in 1835 by Robert Riemerschmid and first brought to market in 1910 by the Anton Riemerschmid group in Munich. The liqueur enjoyed its first boom as a cult drink in the 1920s, alongside absinthe's heyday, and the green edition at 56% ABV was introduced in 1960, gradually replacing the original yellow Escorial. Riemerschmid moved from Munich to Erding in 1984 and was acquired by the Underberg group in 1996. This bottle is a single example from the early green era and is sold as a rare collector's item.

Smag

The liqueur offers powerful aromas of sweet woodruff, aniseed, peppercorn, citrus and fresh green herbs, blended according to a secret recipe of harmoniously balanced herb and spice distillates. The taste is intense and complex, comparable in sensory character to green Chartreuse.
