Gurktaler: The mild Alpenkräuter and the fruity Alpen-Aperitif

Every year on 15th August, the herbs for Gurktaler Alpenkräuter are blessed in Gurk Cathedral. The herbs are grown in the Gurk Valley and in the cathedral garden, cut by hand from around mid-June and brought to the cathedral cloisters where they are checked for cleanliness, freshness and varietal purity. To make the liqueur, the selected herbs are soaked in alcohol for a few days in an exact ratio according to a secret recipe. During maceration, the ingredients and aromatic substances are leached out, the extract is blended in a strictly controlled ratio, and stored to mature. The branded product underlines the regional connection by supporting various local projects. Hiking trails have been developed in the Carinthian holiday region to enable guests to enjoy the unique landscape. In the ‘Gurk Valley herbal paradise’ you will also find inns and hostels that emphasise the theme.

Rossbacher is a piece of Austrian liqueur history. In 1897, Adolf Wunderlich founded a liqueur distillery in the 7th district of Vienna and worked on incorporating natural flavours into the products. The liqueur is made from herbs, roots and berries without any artificial additives. The secret lies in the preparation as well as in the ingredients; the intense flavour is achieved through a combination of maceration, percolation and distillation. The original recipe, still in strong demand today, provides precise instructions on which herbs to use and how to treat them. Invigorating herbal notes combine with citrus tones and a subtle sweetness to create a wholesome pleasure.

Gurktaler(Gurktaler Alpen Aperitif, Gurktaler DER MILDE Alpenkräuter) and Rossbacher won Gold at the World Spirits Award 2025.

Aldi Ireland: Gin and whiskey in retail

Aldi Ireland has several top products in its spirit range: Boyle’s Gin from the Blackwater Distillery and Ardfallen Whiskey from the West Cork Distillery, in addition, Mo Chara Passionfruit & Mango Gin from the Old Carrick Mill.

The Blackwater Distillery has been an Aldi partner since 2016 and developed the private label Boyle’s Gin exclusively for the Irish and British retail market. The product volume of the Blackwater Distillery for Aldi has risen strongly in recent years, whereby 140,800 bottles of the gin series were sold in 2018. The successful gin brand is manufactured in Blackwater Valley, West Waterford, with selected imported ingredients as well as regional apples, blackcurrants and elderflower. CEO Peter Mulryan – former TV producer and author of the book ‘The Whiskeys of Ireland’ – explains, “The partnership with Aldi has helped us to increase turnover enormously, and also to have the security to invest and expand. This includes on-site bottling facilities and a visitor centre.” Ardfallen Whiskey from the West Cork Distillery got its name from the region in County Cork where the malted barley comes from, and is only manufactured in small batches. The business was founded in 2003 by childhood friends who started out with only two small stills they had bought in Switzerland. Now the largest distillery in the country, it currently employs over 80 staff and exports to around 70 countries.

Beim World-Spirits Award 2025 gab es Gold für Ardfallen 10 Year Old Whiskey, Dúchas Irish Whiskey, Silver für Ardfallen Triple Cask Whiskey, Boyle‘s Sloe & Damson Gin, Dolmen Honey Moonshine.
