Nostalgia Never Tasted This Strong: STROH 80 Is Back and There Are Only 80 Bottles in South Africa

It’s bold, it’s legendary, and it’s finally back. STROH 80, the mythic Austrian spirit that defined a generation, makes its grand return to South Africa this August. But there’s a catch: only 80 bottles will be released nationwide.

A Spirit Steeped in Stories

Known for its unmistakable aroma, warming spice, and unapologetic 80% ABV, STROH 80 isn’t just a drink—it’s a memory-maker. From après-ski adventures and late-night student antics (we won’t tell) to STROH Pedro desserts and those unforgettable weekends around the fire with STROH and Coke, this comeback blends nostalgia with a modern edge.

“STROH 80 is more than a spirit, it’s an icon. This relaunch is a nostalgic nod for those who know it, and a bold invitation for those about to meet it for the first time. But with just 80 bottles in the country, it’s also an exclusive club. If you see it, grab it.”

says Nicole De Waal, Portfolio Manager at Edward Snell & Co

Powerfully Distilled. Legendary by Nature.

This isn’t your average party pour. STROH 80 is deeply rooted in Austrian tradition and loved worldwide for its depth of flavour and versatility. Add a fiery kick to a cocktail, stir it into winter hot chocolate, or simply pair it with cola and ice. Feeling adventurous? Try it as a rich dessert enhancer or the secret ingredient in a slow-cooked sauce.

This isn’t just strong—it’s STROH Strong.

80 of 80: A Collectible Comeback

The release of STROH 80 in South Africa is a collector’s moment. Each bottle is a tribute to its 80% ABV strength and to the limited-edition exclusivity. Available exclusively online at Norman Goodfellows, once these 80 bottles are gone, they’re gone for good.

“The return of this legend—from après-ski to weekend braais—brings the heat to every story. Globally loved and creatively used as a hot chocolate hero, dessert or savoury dish power-up, or a cocktail curveball, STROH 80 is back to spark new memories.”

Nicole adds:

A New Era of a Classic

Available this August, STROH 80’s return celebrates a legendary spirit reimagined for today’s enthusiasts—those who value craftsmanship, bold character, and a touch of mischief, minus the mayhem.
