Germany is less well known for its own Absinthe tradition, even if in the 19th century, there had been distilleries here, producing the Absinthe. After the repeal of prohibition in the 1990s, manufacturers preferences fluctuated between Bohemian influences and the French-Swiss tradition, which also prevailed here soon. Meanwhile the quality of German Absinthe has - not least with the Eichelberger Absinthes - fully achieved international excellence.
