Hill's Liquere was founded in 1920, in a small Czech town called Brusperk and produced Radigast, Borovicka, Rum  and, using the recipe of Albin Hill - Absinth.
There is no evidence nor documents left that would prove the existence of Hill's Absinth throughout the 30‘s except in the memories of the locals and mentionings in Czech literature from that period.

The truth is that this drink was very popular and in the 40‘s, the company had to open a new branch in Valasske Mezirici. The rations during WWII were based more on the quantity of alcohol rather than its strength  and soon they found out that if they wanted to increase the effect of the ration, they could buy Hill's Absinth and reduce it with water.

But the success did not last for long. When the war ended, the communist regime confiscated the factory and from 1948 on, the official production was stopped. Almost everything was either stolen or destroyed, even the machines, cars and also personal property of Hill’s family. Fortunately, Radomil Hill saved the recipes of his father as well as another book of original recipes of the period.

Between the years 1948  and 1990, the official production did not exist. Radomil used his skill and worked for state companies but never used his own recipes.

It was only after the Velvet Revolution in 1989 and after the country joined in in the free market when Radomil began to create the family business again. The old factory was in a bad state and in 1992 a new branch was opened in a small town in the south of the Czech Republic, in a town called Jindrichuv Hradec.

The modern Hill's Absinth tastes similar to the original Czech drink produced by Albin Hill. It does not taste and smell so strongly of anise as its French or Swiss relatives. It was because the customs in Bohemia led to a smaller use of anise in the production of the drink which also explains the fact that Hills Absinth does not change its colour to milk white (louche) when water is added. 
While the heavy taste of anise in other drinks is too strong for cocktails ( it impedes the creation of cocktails), Hills Absinth has a gentle taste that is a true dream for every barman. That is why Hills Absinth is the only original absinth produced in the Czech Republic and other factories are only trying to imitate it.
