Klippenziege: New era in the world of gin
In December 2015, four friends captured the ‘spirit’ of an idea: they were thinking about gin. Nearly a year later a small batch was bottled by hand. The individuality of a gin lies in the combination of the botanicals, in this case it is the exotic selection: mate tea, goji berries, physalis and a hint of rose. The Klippenziege is a New Western Dry Gin, in which juniper plays the main role amongst the other botanicals.
It is produced in the Habbel Distillery, which guarantees excellent quality thanks to its experience – it was established in 1878 and is now in the family’s fourth generation. The former Korn distillery in Sprockhövel with adjoining farmland is now the largest fruit distillery in the Ruhr region, as a traditional manufacturer it stands out with its attention to detail. The entire manufacturing process at Klippenziege can also be observed on-site.
The bottle and the label are also special. Designer Levent Aydin drew it carefully by hand, and then digitalised it before perfecting it. First it is printed, then coated, then stamped and embossed. The elegant result stands for friendship, solidarity and love. Working together in a friendly and familiar atmosphere connects people with a passion for life who share one important belief: that the product should encourage people to slow down, allowing for mindful enjoyment.
At the World Spirits Award, there was silver for Mate Dry Gin.

Brennerei Ehringhausen: 700 years of tradition
The history of the Ehringhausen farm begins in 1237, at that time known as Haus Edrinchhausen. The traditional name, Erich, became the name of the farm, as well as the family’s surname and the name of the products. The Korn (grain distillate) distillery was founded in 1962. 30 years later an exceptional and, for its time ground-breaking, idea was born: to produce spirits organically, with spelt instead of wheat. In 2012, the siblings Theres and Georg Glitz-Ehringhausen took over their parents’ distillery and continued their handicraft in the third generation, creatively and in close contact with nature.
“For us, Korn is more than just a regional speciality. Korn is our inspiration! We look for the best organic ingredients and new recipes with unusual flavours with a Korn distillate base. We want to contribute to the production of high-quality, regional products and to give versatile Korn a new lease on life.”
The new wooden barrel collection has been named after their great-great-grandfather. Known for his extravagant ways and good taste, his nickname was ‘the little Lord’. Around 130 years ago, he was the first farmer in Ehringhausen to cultivate spelt and also planted an oak forest. The great-great-uncle’s herbarium became the source for aroma experiments that resulted in five gins. The base is a mild Korn distillate made from regional organic wheat.
At the World Spirits Award, there was gold for Der Kleine Lord N° 6, Rye Whisky N° 2, Jos. Garden Dry Gin Blutorange (blood orange), Jos. Garden Red – Bitter Spritz Aperitif Liqueur, Classic Ladies Orangen Eier Crème (orange egg cream liqueur) and Classic Ladies Eier Creme Likör (egg cream liqueur), and silver for Dinkelkorn holzfassgelagert (spelt distillate matured in a wooden cask), Brennerei Ehringhausen Zitronengeist (lemon spirit) and Brennerei Ehringhausen Orangengeist (orange spirit
