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.

Destillerie Hochstrasser: The art of distilling as an art of living

At the heart of the Lipizzaner homeland on the way to the Styrian Schilcher wine route lies the Hochstrasser distillery. There, the art of distillation has been passed on since 1930 and is now in its fourth generation. High-proof products of the highest quality are created by constantly developing, while taking into account traditional values. Those who are looking for excellent taste have come to the right place! As well as fine distillates and liqueurs, also top products such as gin and rum consistently achieve the highest international awards.

They were one of the first distilleries in Austria to work with vacuum distillation. This is a much gentler process than conventional distilling because a lower boiling point can be used. This enables preservation of the variety of natural aromas and promotion of fruit typicity.

Those who read understand, those who sample experience! On a personally guided experience tour through one of the largest and most modern distilleries in Europe, you gain insights into the production process, the storage in special barrels and the history of schnapps distilling. Visitors see the distilling procedure close up. A line-up of the fragrances also helps to identify the individual distillates by taste and smell. The tour is rounded off by a sampling in the showroom and salesroom, where one can find gifts and fine glass designs for every occasion alongside a varied product range.

The World Class Distillery 2025 received Double Gold for Rote Williamsbirne 100 % Vakuum-Destillat (red Williams pear brandy, 100% vacuum distillate) (Spirit of the Year 2025), and Gold for Waldhimbeerbrand 100 % Vakuum-Destillat (wild raspberry brandy, 100% vacuum distillate), Williamsbirnenbrand Select (Williams pear brandy), Steirischer Hauszwetschkenbrand (Styrian damson brandy) and Gravensteiner Apfelbrand (apple brandy).
