Pfalzdrusel Gin: Let a wonderful friendship beGIN

The friends Philipp, Paul and Tobias set themselves the goal of creating a gin that is 100% local to the Palatinate region. It conveys a zest for life and is fun: interesting and expressive, but simple and uncomplicated. It therefore had to be an organic gin. Spruce needles, lavender, rosemary and nettles represent the oasis of wellbeing of the Palatinate Forest. Blueberries, orange, lemon and bitter orange ensure freshness and lightness. Juniper brings the typical character into the glass. “That is the Palatinate region with all its facets and tastes, characterised by our way of life, culture and love of our homeland.”

The mascot of Pfalzdrusel Gin is the fairy-tale creature Dallas. One sunny Saturday, a little otter from Ottersheim ran through the forest to Bellheim. On the way it met a dog. The two of them hit it off and made their way to Kleinfischlingen, where the dog knew a funny fish. They had great fun and did not notice an old witch sneaking up, who wanted to put an end to the racket the three were making. She uttered a magic spell: three are now one! There was thunder and lightning, fog rose. When it receded, the witch had disappeared. There was also no trace of the dog, otter or fish. Instead, there lay a little animal with an otter’s head, a fish’s tail and dog’s legs. At the same time, the three friends Philipp, Tobias and Paul were on a merry wine tour when they discovered the little animal. They took it home, gave it the name Dallas and called the new species ‘Pfalzdrusel’.

Pfalzdrusel Gin achieved gold at the World Spirits Award.

AnderWald: A place full of stories

This tale began not in a cellar, not in a distillery, but in a small pub in Dublin. A place full of stories, with golden drops that whispered of old recipes. It was there that they had the idea to create their own fine spirits, not just to enjoy the ones already there. Unique pieces as an expression of their own path. Where small miracles are created from water, fire, earth and time. And where every drop tells the story of its origin.

This young, independent spirits producer in Deutsch-Brodersdorf is dedicated to combining regionality, traditional distilling craftsmanship and innovative barrel ageing. Philipp Zima, a trained chemist, developed the recipes and production processes himself with scientific precision. Raw materials such as Styrian apples for the brandy and Viennese barley malt for the whisky are used in the process. They have respect for the classics, as well as the courage to think differently. Their heart is in nature, their gaze is deep – and their curiosity is fuelled by alchemy.

Maturation takes place in selected European barrels, as well as classic oak and local chestnut wood, which lends a unique, warm aroma. A central element of the philosophy is the targeted barrel reference: their own maturing barrels filled with apple brandy are used for individual maturation. Sustainability, transparency in the origin of raw materials and uncompromising quality characterise the way they work.

At the World Spirits Award, there was Silver for Single Malt Whisky Wiener Malz, Apfel Edelbrand Holz and Wodka Reserve.
