Description

The foursome of Sandra Wimmeler, Denis Lönnendonker, Rebecca Mertes and Tobias Schwoll wanted to change course drastically. They wanted to get away from the grind and be one with nature. Making an honest and unique product. This philosophy brought the foursome to a picturesque village of Berlingen located in the volcanic Eifel region. The area was formed by centuries-old volcanoes. Apart from the Kasselburg castle, forest and lots of farmland, there was nothing else to see as far as the eye could see. The foursome decided that this would be the place where their dreams would come true.But did they really want to exchange their fancy dress and style for an everywhere? They would not be the Windspiels if they did not keep up their fancy dress style, Only Tobias handed in his flannel shirt for an overal and started working. Within a short time, farm life was a reality. They became self-sufficient in energy and had their own pigs and goats running around. Every evening, the four friends treated themselves to a glass of gin and enjoyed their homemade potato dishes. This is where Tobias really started talking about his dreams.He wanted to be a potato farmer. Due to the stony volcanic landscape, this would be practically impossible, but nothing was impossible for Tobias to make his dreams come true. Not long after, Tobias prepared the stony fields for his potatoes. Only the best was good enough. They still ate their potato dishes every night, but now made from their own grown potatoes. One evening while Denis was sipping his gin, he wondered why they did not make their own distillate like Gin, but from their own potatoes instead of the usual grain. The others thought it was just a bit of a crazy idea, but Denis managed to convince them. And that's where the experimentation began. A Down-to-earth Gin with a subtle flavour, but still suitable for connoisseurs. After months of working on the best formula, here came the best result their; Premium Dry Gin.A Premium Gin distilled from their own potatoes with juniper berries, lime and coriander. To give the Gin a special character, botanical spices like lavender and cinnamon are added the rest is chef's secret! The Gin is subtle due to the special production process, as the Gin undergoes the distillation process three times instead of the usual twice. The volcanic soil of the potatoes gives this Premium Gin a silky smooth character.The only thing missing now was a name for this wonderful product. The four friends recalled visiting a woman in the neighbouring village. The woman talked a lot about the history of the area and the farm. As it got later, the woman told about the Prussian king Frederick the Great who once had the idea of making a liqueur from the Eifel "Tartoffel". Unfortunately, he was never able to implement his plans. Making a delicious drink would be the crowning glory of his life's work. The four initially distrusted the story, but have done all possible research on Frederick the Great, especially dog lover Sandra was touched by the passion and love Frederick the Great had for his greyhounds. He even wanted to be buried with his greyhounds. And there was the name; Windspiel.If you think the Windspiels are now hanging back and resting and enjoying success on their convivial farmhouse with a glass of Gin, you are wrong! There is still a resourceful and heavily motivated spirit for more. After another evening of philosophising about life, the four shared their pride. Proud of their own Gin and despite everyone distrusting their plans. And now they have created a Premium Gin that is known worldwide! And that in a village where they only sip schnapps and Vodka. And that's where the next idea was born.... How did they not think of that before!? Vodka! For this they used a special potato variety called the Pirol potato, these potatoes have an even more intense flavour. This Vodka should not be an average Vodka, but a unique Vodka for the real connoisseurs... and not just the pure alcohol of their Gin. They developed a technique to bring the intense flavour of the Pirol potato back into the Vodka. Soft and intense flavour. The result still wasn't good enough, so they decided to rest the Vodka in oak barrels for a few months. Now the Vodka was perfect! A Vodka made by connoisseurs for connoisseurs....
