Established in 1758, Berentzen is famous for its apple schnapps. In 1976 the brothers Berentzen dramatically changed their company's fortunes by creating a new product which almost instantly became an international success.

German students traditionally mixed Berentzen Korn Schnapps (a dry, clear spirit) with apple juice. Recognising this, the brothers worked on an apple flavoured schnapps, blending apple juice with wheat spirit, which proved an instant success. The success of the product was the inspiration for an ever-widening range of fruit liqueurs, including this peach flavour, which is made with a German wheat spirit base.
