History and production of Windspiel Premium Dry Gin Reserve:

Windspiel is fully committed to sustainable production. There are no industrial machines, everything is controlled, processed and filled by hand. Potatoes are grown, tended and cared for on the company's own farm in the Vulkaneifel. These form the basic ingredient for the Windspiel Premium Dry Gin Reserve and the company's own potato vodka. In addition, a special energy plant (called miscanthus) is cultivated, which is even used to heat the production facility.

The name Windspiel was deliberately chosen for the factory and goes back to Frederick the Great, King of Prussia. He was not only a proven greyhound fan, but also a great friend and supporter of the potato. With his potato order he wanted to teach his subjects about growing the tuber and thus avoid future famines. The name now creates a link to the company's own potato spirits.

To get the most flavour out of the potatoes harvested in autumn, they are first cleaned and freed from the fertile volcanic soil. After a subsequent quality control, the potatoes are chopped and water is added. The potato mash is heated to break down the starch contained in the potatoes. This is the only way the yeast added after cooling can convert the sugar into alcohol and CO₂. After a few days the mash has fermented and the "potato beer" can be distilled. A total of three distillation processes make the spirit ever finer and more flavourful.

At the same time, different botanicals, including juniper berries, coriander, lemon peel, lavender, ginger and cinnamon, are macerated in alcohol. This causes them to release their aroma bit by bit. Only when the essences have fully developed are they mixed with the potato brandy.

Finally, the Windspiel Premium Dry Gin Reserve is stored in selected oak barrels, which round off the aroma and ensure a complex, full-bodied taste.

Tasting the Windspiel Premium Dry Gin Reserve:

The Windspiel Premium Dry Gin Reserve has a light golden, sparkling color. The aroma is clearly characterized by juniper berries, lemons and vanilla. This is accompanied by floral notes of lavender, a fine oak spice and the unmistakable smell of potatoes. The Windspiel Premium Dry Gin Reserve is very harmonious and finely balanced on the nose. Every single nuance comes into its own and creates a unique play of aromas.

The 49.3% vol. storms forward powerfully on the tongue. Again, juniper and lemons are noticeable first. The potato note is wonderfully integrated and creates a unique mouthfeel. In the middle third, a vanilla sweetness appears, which interacts with the spicy oak. The oak continues into the finish and remains in the mouth for a long time.

In conclusion, it can be said that storing the Windspiel Premium Dry Gin Reserve was completely worthwhile. The harmonious combination of fruity-floral gin and sweet barrel aromas is as unique as it is complex. This means that the Windspiel Premium Dry Gin Reserve enjoys our unconditional recommendation.

Brockman's Premium Gin 0,7 L 40%

Brockman's Premium Gin 0.7 L 40% Brockman's - An unusual gin Brockman's Gin was developed by several friends who had the shared vision of bringing a completely new gin to market. What united the small group was their passion for the diversity of gin and their expertise in various areas relating to the noble drink with juniper. While one young man in the group was well versed in the history of gin, others completed the team with knowledge of distillation and extensive sensory experience in the field of gin. Ideal basic requirements for creating an excellent product! The goal in developing Brockman's was clear from the start: It should be a gin that people enjoy drinking neat or with a little ice. What seems unspectacular at first glance was a bold idea, because when have you ever seen a guest in a bar drinking gin neat? Correct - actually never, because gin is traditionally only used as an ingredient in long drinks or cocktails. This is not the case with any of the other "big" spirits such as whisky, vodka or rum - they are all often enjoyed neat! The development of Brockman's Gin If it were easy to develop a gin that you can drink with pleasure, a similar gin would probably have come onto the market before Brockman's. That the challenge was greater than expected also became clear during the development of this special gin. Hundreds of different recipes with botanicals from all parts of the world were tried out until a recipe was finally found that satisfied all friends. The basis for this, in addition to high-quality base alcohol, is of course the botanicals. To ensure that Brockman's is clearly recognizable as a gin, classic botanicals such as juniper berries, cinnamon cassia and orange peel are also used in its production. To round off the taste profile, we also use rather unusual ingredients such as blueberries or blackberries, which give the gin a round and slightly fruity taste. We recommend - of course - enjoying Brockman's Gin neat, ideally slightly chilled or on ice. However, it also tastes very good when mixed with tonic water or ginger ale!

Windspiel Barrel Aged Potato Vodka, 0,5L 42%

Windspiel Barrel Aged Potato Vodka 0.5L 42% 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. Tasting the Windspiel Barrel Aged Potato Vodka: On the nose, the Windspiel Barrel Aged Potato Vodka shows a really impressive clarity. Not the slightest alcoholic sting can be detected. The bouquet reveals well-dosed aromas of vanilla and caramel, which are surrounded by the unique potato note. The Windspiel Barrel Aged Potato Vodka is then completely convincing on the tongue. An indescribable mildness and gentleness settles on the taste buds. The finest notes of vanilla, caramel and butter biscuits dance on the tip of the tongue. In the middle third, the potato becomes noticeably more present and ensures an incomparable taste experience. In the finish, the Windspiel Barrel Aged Potato Vodka becomes increasingly spicier. The ash wood comes through clearly and leaves a wonderful impression that lasts for a long time. Overall, the Windspiel Barrel Aged Potato Vodka is a truly exceptional distillate. The potato as a basic ingredient is perceptible at all times and wonderfully integrated into the taste. The Windspiel Barrel Aged Potato Vodka is without question a vodka for neat enjoyment.

Tip

Windspiel Gin Alcoholfree 0,5L

Windspiel Gin Alcohol-Free 0.5L Local product If you don't already know the Windspiel distillery, you should take a closer look at this local distillery. A particularly local gin has been produced in the Vulkaneifel for some time. Local potatoes are used for the base distillate. The connection to home plays a special role here, because the gin was created in honor of King Frederick the Great (Fredericus Rex), who helped the potato achieve great success in Germany. The label also reflects this connection in the form of a picture of a dog, Frederick's favorite breed of dog. Gin completely without alcohol There is probably a lot of debate about the sense of a gin without alcohol, some question the point of it all, others are happy about an alternative without having to forego the typical gin character. Here, too, the botanicals are laboriously macerated and distilled to create an intense aroma. The very typical aromas of cloves and allspice are also the focus of the non-alcoholic version. Then notes of juniper berries and citrus fruits gradually join in. Nutritional information per 100 ml: - Calorific value: 15.6 kJ/3.7 kcal - Fat

Windspiel Premium Dry Gin 0,5L 47%

Windspiel Premium Dry Gin 0.5L 47% Windspiel Distillery The special feature of Windspiel Gin begins with the selection of the base alcohol. Since the brand is in honor of Frederick the Great, king at the time, as the 'discoverer' of the potato and alleviated famine by growing it in Prussia and Pomerania, it is obvious to create a base alcohol from this very product. If you look at the wide range of gins, this is a special feature; only a few products are based on potatoes. What's more, these come from the Eifel region, which is known to have one of the mineral-rich volcanic soils and produces even more intense potatoes. The rest of the production follows the traditional production of London Dry Gin. It is distilled several times, but no botanicals or other things are added afterwards. Tasting and taste After opening the bottle, the first thing you notice are sweet, fresh notes. Classic gin notes are also noticeable. These typical aromas are more clearly recognizable on the palate, and spicy, peppery notes of coriander are added.
