Underberg Bitters is a legendary German herbal digestif crafted from herbs sourced from 43 countries around the world. Since 1846, Underberg has been produced according to the secret process "Semper Idem" (Always the Same), guaranteeing consistent quality across five generations of the Underberg family. This herbal speciality is made from exquisite and aromatic herbs that are carefully selected and subjected to detailed quality control, then matured for many months in barrels made of Slovenian oak before being filled into the iconic portion bottles wrapped in straw-coloured paper.

Why You'll Love It

This is the original German herbal digestif with a heritage dating back to 1846. Hubert Underberg carefully selected herbs from 43 countries and developed a gentle extraction process that captures the active ingredients from these exquisite and aromatic herbs. The secret recipe is known by only five people, and the production follows the "Semper Idem" principle - always the same quality. Each herb undergoes rigorous testing for over 250 individual criteria in certified laboratories before being processed. The herbal blend then matures for many months in Slovenian oak barrels, developing its distinctive character. The iconic 2cl portion bottle, introduced in 1949, guarantees the originality and optimal dose - "Underberg, the portion of well-being." This is a digestif with history, quality, and tradition.
