History and production of Windspiel Barrel Aged Potato Vodka:

The Windspiel factory is fully committed to producing the highest quality spirits. Located in the fertile Volcanic Eifel, gin and vodka have been produced there in small quantities and with great effort by hand since 2008. What's special about it? The basic ingredient is potatoes, not grain.

The Windspiel Barrel Aged Potato Vodka is made from the particularly starchy Pirol potato variety. Grown on the Weilerhof in the Volcanic Eifel, the tubers are harvested in autumn and then processed on site. First, the potatoes must be washed and freed of soil. This is followed by the crushing, which is necessary to make the starch vulnerable. Heated in a large pot, the starch swells and releases the fermentable sugar. After adding a specially bred yeast, fermentation begins. The "potato beer" is then distilled three times. This makes the potato distillate incomparably mild and gentle, without driving away the fine potato note.

The Windspiel Barrel Aged Potato Vodka is then stored in exclusive ash barrels, which give the distillate additional spicy wood, vanilla and caramel notes. Bottled with 42% alcohol by volume, the Windspiel Barrel Aged Potato Vodka: does not require filtration due to its high quality.
