GOLDand  BEST ORGANIC SPIRIT of Switzerland at the Swiss Spirits Award 2019.

 

Raspberry Brandy, 350ml, 42% Vol

It takes 100 kg of organic raspberries to produce 12 bottles of ultra delicious raspberry brandy. By definition the delight is costly, but unbelievable smooth and deep. Authentic to the berries from the forests. Luxury pure. The scent is breathtaking with aromas from forest raspberries, nuts, sweet notes of quince , caramel and white pepper. The aroma is fresh, intense, pure and of extreme long finish.

Ripe and juicy organic pears from Valais/CH with authentic and typical endless aroma. More than you can expect.

Apricot Brandy 350ml, 41.5%Vol

Fragrant  and bright yellow-red, sun-ripened organic fruits from the Valais, were hand-picked, cleaned of everything that does not stimulate eating, pitted and mashed to a tasty smoothie. A relatively short fermentation phase gave us a low but all the more substantial yield. After a year of ripening, the distillate was diluted to drinking strength and delights us with its intense fragrance, varietal fruit notes, a warm and deep jam tone with caramel hints. The finish is particularly long and in the palate gradually even more fruit aromas develop. Without additives. Made in Switzerland.

SILVER at DistiSuisse 2019/20

 

Mandarin Spirit, 350 ml, 41% Vol

Some Ur-Mandarin trees, originally cultivated in Sicily, survived on the Greek island of Chios. That's where these unusually delicious fruits come from. Full of seeds, a lot of cleaning and preparing is needed before slightly warm maceration and subsequent distillation. Very intense in nose and palate, this spirit captures the perfume of the mandarins and preserves it for our pleasure. Memories of taste and smell of mandarins of my childhood  are instantly back. 

GOLD at the DistiSuisse 2019/20

 

Orange Spirit, 350 ml, 41.5% Vol

Like the mandarin, this orange is from the Greek island of Chios. This original orange, whose fruit has many seeds and is therefore no longer so appreciated for consumption, impresses with an intense, almost ostentatious typical orange aroma, great density, exciting freshness, very long finish with a pleasant bitter note. The many seed are removed by hand, the fruits (skin, juice and flesh) tempered & macerated, carefully and slowly distilled and then stored for a year.

GOLD at der DistiSuisse 2021/22

 

Primal Bitter Orange Spirit, 350 ml, 41.5% Vol

Our primal bitter orange is also from the garden of a Swiss perfumer on Chios, like the primal orange and original mandarin. Not intended for raw consumption, but great in the kitchen and very appreciated by perfumers, as it provides several fragrance components at once - with a digestible bitterness that we often know from English marmalade. Thick skin with firm mesocarp (white layer under the skin), little flesh, but distinctive orange-bitter aromas. Long-lasting, an experience. Especially for friends of delicate bitterness. Pitted and juiced by hand, the primal bitter orange is briefly macerated and carefully distilled before it can develop its full flavour during storage.

GOLD at der DistiSuisse 2023/24 

 

Cedro Lemon Spirit , 350 ml, 41.5% Vol

The up to 25 cm long organic fruits from Sicily are the epitome of the sun turned fruit. The Cedro has a very thick peel with delicious white pulp (mesocarp), which is often processed into candied lemon peel and also tastes delicious raw as a salad or lightly fried. The whole cedro with its only small pulp is cut into thin pieces and macerated warmly, slowly distilled and stored for a year. Sun in the glass, very lemony, little acidity, slight harmonious bitter note, well-balanced and long lasting are the essential tasting notes. Unfiltered.

Silber an der DistiSuisse 2021/22

 

Buddhas Hand Lemonspirit, 350ml, 42% Vol

The Buddha’s Hand lemon (Citrus medica var. Sarcodactylis) is one of the oldest citrus varieties which thrives finger-like - without fruit, juice and pulp, sometimes grows as spread fingers, sometimes appears as a fist.Top chefs like it because of the fruity, floral and pure, intense lemon flavor as well as for the bizarre shape and appearance.Our organic Buddha’s hands grow in Corsica and are only available for a very short time.

 
 

Yuzu Spirit 350ml, 41% Vol

Yuzu fruits (Citrus x junos) have been grown in China for thousands of years, but have been refined and used for cooking in Japan. About the size of a lemon / mandarin, they contain many seeds and little juice. However, the main flavours are in the Yuzu peel.It is considered the most aromatic among citrus fruits and is also used as fragrance in the perfume industry.

The fresh, extremely complex note of Yuzu is elegant, soothing and conveys addictive potential.To be enjoyed as pure pleasure, it also refines salad sauces, fish dishes and desserts. It is difficult to obtain - in particular when it comes to the organic quality which we use - and very expensive.

 

Bergamot Spirit, 500ml, 41.5%Vol

The Citrus fruit Bergamot grows exclusively at the shores of the coast of Calabria and gives off the sweet smell of Italian summer nights, best known from the scent of Earl grey tea and as high note in many perfumes. The oil of the fruit has a fresh, oriental fruity and lively nose pared with a subtle aromatic note. The scent is said to improve one's mood. Our organic Bergamot spirit definitely does so in a lasting way. Not filtered & no additives. Produced in Switzerland.

Pepper Spirit Cubeb, 500 ml, 40% Vol

Organic Cubeb Pepper from India makes up the foundation of this unique taste experience. Sharpness and a warm bouquet of spicy, exotic and earthy flavors can be expected. Excellent for consumption on its own, as a replacement for cherry liquor in fondue, paired with well matured cheese, or as an accompanying beverage with red meat. Unfiltered.

SILVER at DistiSuisse 2017/18.

 

Pepper Spirit Tweed, 500 ml, 40% Vol

The trio of organically grown Timut pepper, Long pepper and Cubeb pepper make up this drink. The Timut, part of the Szechuan family, has a slight numbing effect on the tongue, which highlights its strong citrus and grapefruit notes more once the taste sensation slowly returns. Cubeb, Timut and spicy Long pepper blend together well and the spiciness (capsaicin) is not distilled into the spirit. Unfiltered. A new taste experience.

 

Pepper Spirit Wild Madagascar, 500ml, 40% Vol

Although it is only the size of a pinhead, the wild Madagascar pepper comes across much bigger in terms of flavor. Earthy, spicy, exotic scented, black tea aromas and pleasantly rounded and mild, while long lasting and somehow acquainting you with these unfamiliar flavors so quickly. Not spicy. Unfiltered.

SILVER at Swiss Spirits Award 2019
SILVER at DistiSuisse 2019/20

 

Allspice (piment) Spirit, 350ml, 42% Vol

Allspice, sometimes called piment or "Nelkenpfeffer" in German. Cinnamon, cloves, pepper and muscat are the dominant aromas of Allspice. Sometimes used in lieu of pepper and as spice for wonderful Christmas cookies, allspice provides a large variety of tastes. We tried to preserve the bouquet of aromas in the bottle and are pleased about its soft touch and richness of flavors which develop in your palate over time. Discover this wonderful journey of tastes, soft and long lasting. Unfiltered. Fair-trade organic piment from Madagascar 

 

Chili Spirit Madagascar - per request

Enjoy chili without fighting the spiciness. Sweet, warm flavors, combined with the scent of the sun and the island of Madagascar, where this small organic chili grows.

Also suitable for other mix drinks and some fine foods.

The Distillation Process

Distilling is a process of separation. Alcohol evaporates at a lower temperature than water and the distilling process utilizes this fact. By slowly raising the temperature of the mash, alcohol evaporates before water and any particulate material. These vapors are then cooled in order to condense them.
