Killepitsch Premium Herbal Liqueur 42% vol. 0.7 l is a genuine Düsseldorf speciality and ranks among Germany’s best-known herbal liqueurs. For decades, it has been delighting drinkers with its distinctive recipe and intense flavour. This multi-award-winning premium herbal liqueur is produced exclusively from natural ingredients, using over 98 herbs, berries and fruits from all over the world. The carefully selected ingredients are stored in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks before being processed into a harmonious liqueur with exceptional depth. The exact recipe remains a closely guarded family secret to this day, preserving the unique character of Killepitsch. Presented in the classic 0.7-litre bottle, this traditional liqueur embodies a piece of Düsseldorf’s culture of indulgence.
The history of Killepitsch dates back to 1955, when the legendary tasting room ‘Et Kabüffke’ opened on Flinger Straße in Düsseldorf’s Old Town. It was there that the liqueur was first presented to the public and quickly became a regional icon. The name Killepitsch is closely linked to a well-known anecdote involving Hans Müller-Schlösser and Willi Busch, which remains part of the brand’s history to this day. With an alcohol content of 42% vol., this herbal liqueur impresses with its harmonious balance of spicy, fruity and slightly sweet notes. Its complex aroma makes it a special treat, whether enjoyed neat or as an ingredient in cocktails.
