Underberg is a
digestif bitter produced in Germany by Underberg AG, made from 43 selected aromatic herbs.It is based on a proprietary recipe, guarded by the Underberg family since the company was founded by Hubert Underberg-Albrecht in 1846. The herbs are distilled using a secret process denominated "semper idem" (or "always the same"). The extracts are then matured for many months in barrels made of
Slovenia noak .Production ceased in 1943 due to lack of raw materials, only to be restarted in December 1945. The drink is usually associated with its famous portion-sized 20 ml bottle, designed in 1946 by Emil Underberg, grandson of the founder. The mini-bottle is protected by a straw paper sleeve and the embossed Underberg label is glued on. All of its elements, including shape of the bottle, colour, packaging and the Underberg name are
