ERBER Edelbrände: Tyrolean appreciation and a celebration of fine distillates
For over 350 years, high-quality fine brandies, schnapps, spirits and liqueurs have been handmade from various kinds of fruit at Erber in Brixen im Thale. For an original Tyrolean fine brandy or Tyrolean schnapps, only hand-selected and fully ripened fruits of the best quality are processed in the oldest copper still distillery in Tyrol. Double distilled, diluted with their own spring water and some stored in wooden barrels, Erber fine brandies and schnapps are part of a traditional Tyrolean love of fine things.
The record of success: Master Class Distillery and Master Class Distillery with double gold for Tiroler Jagertee, gold for Blackcurrant Brandy, Wurzler, Süßwurzler, Brixx43 Gin, Old Rye Brandy (wood), Old Plum Brandy, Old Mirabelle Brandy, Muscatel Grape Brandy, Plum Brandy, Rowanberry Schnapps and Damson Fruit Liqueur, and silver for Williams Pear Schnapps, Coffee Spirit, Mirabelle Brandy, Rose Apricot, Tiroler Zirbener (stone pine) and Tiroler Nusseler (nut).

Rheinbrand: Exciting project and influential people
The initiator, Raphael Wyniger, is a passionate restaurateur and the first Swiss ‘Hotelier of the Year’. The company Rheinbrand Spirits GmbH complements his businesses in the Wyniger Group. The second member of the team is the wine academic Adrian Baumgartner. This wine and spirits expert had already been involved in the development of a gin. Production takes place following London Dry Gin procedures in the canton of Aargau, under the watchful eye of Ruedi Käser. He is one of the leading Swiss distillers, and his credo is to work by hand. Only small batches of 500 bottles are distilled at a time and are hand-bottled after the necessary resting period.
The ingredients are carefully selected, whereby regions along the River Rhine are integrated with their products – a perfect basis for spirits and an homage to the myths of the river. The water comes from the Rhine spring at Lake Tomasee in Grisons, the juniper and mountain herbs also come from Grisons, the cherries from the Basel region, the elderflowers from Alsace, the Riesling from Rheingau, and the sea salt from the region around Rotterdam. It is refined with lemon and lemongrass. The result is a gin with character and personality, and with harmonious botanicals thanks to great craftsmanship.
CBD hemp from Allschwil in the region is added to the distillate for Rheinbrand Gin Hemp Edition. This is available legally, has no effect on the nervous system and is not intoxicating, but rather has a calming effect. Meticulous tests and lots of patience were necessary, as finding the right mixture was a challenge. The light grassiness makes the gin an exciting element in the art of mixing. For Oak Aged Teufelhof Whisky, half of the volume was refined in a 128-litre Madeira barrel for four months.
At the World Spirits Award, there was Gold for Rheinbrand Dry Gin Hemp Edition and Oak Aged Teufelhof Whisky – Madeira finish, and Silver for Rheinbrand Dry Gin.
