Underberg is a world-renowned German herbal digestif that has remained a staple in the spirits industry since its creation in 1846. The product is famous for its unique single-portion 20ml bottles wrapped in straw-colored paper, a design choice intended to protect the liquid from light and ensure freshness. It is crafted from a secret blend of herbs sourced from 43 different countries, following a proprietary recipe known as 'Semper Idem' (always the same).
Manufacturing remains tightly controlled and is centered in Rheinberg, Germany, where the Underberg family continues to oversee the production process to maintain the secret recipe's integrity. The brand stands out by not adding sugar or caramel coloring, positioning itself as a natural herbal remedy to aid digestion after meals.
Ownership of the brand has been maintained by the Underberg family for generations. Today, it operates under the corporate umbrella of Underberg AG (Semper Idem Underberg AG). While the company has expanded its portfolio to include other spirits and distribution rights for international brands, the core Underberg herbal digestif remains the flagship product of this historic German family enterprise.
