During the renovation of grandma Wilma's house in the small Taunus village of Heftrich, a piece of a bottle came to the surface under the old floorboards. On the faded label, the writing "Taunus-Tropfen" was barely visible. The local carpenter still knew the herbal semi-bitter from earlier days and told Thomas and Dave that it was produced and sold in the early 1970s in Schmitten, which is located directly below the Feldberg. The highest mountain in the Taunus region. This incredible find did not let them go. During their search, it was possible for them to purchase a still unopened bottle of Taunus-Tropfen from an auction house in England. This bottle has been guarded like a little treasure ever since.
Thomas, who grew up in the rather rural Idsteiner region, and Dave, who grew up on the outskirts of the metropolis of New York, were certain: they wanted to bring the Taunus-Tropfen back to life. As different as their backgrounds may seem at first, their love of the Taunus is what they have in common! For some, the Taunus has always been home, for others, the Taunus has become home.
Since their discovery, the two Taunus lovers have been thinking about bringing out a new edition of the herbal liqueur from the area. It would take another four years before their dream came true. It was a dream come true as soon as they were able to finally hold that first bottle of Taunus-Tropfen in their hands.
The herb liqueur impresses with its complex aroma and its special mildness. The herbs, various local berries, woods and other fine ingredients used, ensure its special character and gives a unique tasting experience. Cold macerated and stored for weeks, the Taunus liqueur matures to a very distinctive quality. The taste is a reflection of the Taunus with its deep forests full of natural monuments, prominent peaks and wide valleys. A hint of the Taunus is in every bottle.
