The Next Level of Homemade Drinks
This year was our second visit to Mallorca for summer holidays. Since we had such a great time last year, we also visited Stefan Winterling at his Casa Eva distillery again. I was especially curious, because he had just launched a vermouth.
During our second summer vacation this year, we went to the wine and fruit growing region of South Tyrol. Besides vinyards, I also wanted to visit an eau de vie distillery which I had on my list for a long time. Alexander Ortler’s spirits won very high ratings in the Falstaff Spirits Trophy.
Our choice for the first summer vacation as a family fell on Mallorca. Obviously, this meant that I had to visit Stefan Winterling in his new ‘Casa Eva’ distillery. Luckily, he also was happy to have us and invited us to a gin tasting.
I always love to combine my travels with distillery visits. This time on our way to Vienna, we visited one of my favourite eau de vie distilleries – Reisetbauer. To make things short, the Reisetbauer distillery is well worth a visit!

I have been to a few distilleries so far. However, I never visited a pure whisky distillery. So, just I had to visit the Slyrs Bavarian Single Malt distillery when I was in the neighbourhood. The home of the Slyrs Single Malt is absolutely worth a visit. Here is the full story of the Bavarian […]
In contrast to my trip to the States, I did not have to travel that far for this new report. Nevertheless, it is about a city every bit as interesting: Hamburg, also has many culinary delights to offer! Besides having great coffee, food and drinks, we also visited another gin distillery!
There a certain things every cocktail lover or bartender should do at least once in his life. – No, I am not talking about a shot of Chartreuse or something like that, but of the the production of spirits. And of course this is one thing you as a spirits connoisseur can not know enough […]
