A German friend, returning to his home in New York City after visiting with family in Frankfurt am Main, brought me back a gift box of ASBACH URALT Assorted Brandy-Filled Chocolates. That was about six years ago and I have been hooked ever since. I have tasted chocolates filled with liquor before, but the contents usually taste like alcohol, (the rubbing variety), made palatable only by the candy covering. For that reason I preferred my occasional after-dinner brandy in a snifter. Now, Asbach Uralt, which is recognized by connoisseurs to be the ultimate in liquor-filled chocolate, allows me to have my dessert along with a small taste of superb cognac in one bite. Actually, it is more like one long savoring session between me and a piece of chocolate.

Hugo Asbach's company has been producing fine cognac, "Weinbrand," since 1907 and it is this excellent brandy that is used to make the unique gourmet confection. A thin sugar crust separates the rich dark chocolate and the fine Uralt Asbach Brandy. It is important that the candy be consumed while fresh so the alcohol does not evaporate, and the middleman who sells this product through Amazon has consistently provided me with chocolates as fresh as I would get in Germany. I have ordered frequently over the years, for myself and for friends, as this makes a delicious and unusual gift.

The Large Asbach Assorted Gift Box contains a variety of the liquor-filled chocolates. The assortment includes cherries marinated for over a year in Asbach brandy, praline, coffee and pure cognac. The chocolates are as fine as any I have had in Belgium and much less expensive. This is a real winner. 5+ Stars!

These guys delivered fast and the box was properly marked for special handling. The brandy filled chocolates were some of the best ever.

We have known these products for some time now, but the items ordered on-line were so much fresher (and less expensive) than when we used to buy them from a specialty deli.

Years ago I had a German friend who would bring me this candy when she had returned from her homeland. There is no other candy that can compare to it. Glad I know where to purchase it in the US.

When we lived in Germany, I first tasted Asbach Ultra the liquer. This candy, Asbach Uralt Large Assorted Gift Box , took me back to Germany with the first piece of candy. This is not a candy for children due to the liquer in it. For yourself or adults, this is definately a wonderful gift or treat. So try a box, experience a wonderful candy creation.

I first had this chocolate as a gift from a friend that went to Germany.
Great. When I found a importer in the U.S. I was a bit skeptical but it was worth a shot for these oh so good brandy filled chocolates.. It arrived in good time and was packed as if it were a fragile glass. I Highly recommend
both the candy and the importer
