In 1921, the travel apothecary Hugo Kuemmerling developed his first
alcohol-based herbal mixture in Deesbach, Thuringia. The result was a stomach
bitter that he called "Boonekamp". Over the years, he continued to develop the
recipes for his unique herbal mixtures that are still valid today. When Johannes
Presch, the founder's son-in-law, rebuilt and modernized the production facility
in Bodenheim near Mainz in 1963, the tradition was continued.

The top-secret recipe for the herbal liqueur is based exclusively on natural
ingredients that make its semi-bitter taste unmistakable. This careful selection
and processing ensures that the quality of the liqueur remains consistently
high, which makes it popular with connoisseurs and gourmets alike. This
continuous dedication to perfection is reflected in every drop of the herbal
liqueur.
