{"title":"Hans Reisetbauer","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNo living producer is more synonymous with eau-de-vie than Hans Reisetbauer. In 1990 he planted his first orchard on the family farm in Axberg, Upper Austria, with a single stated goal: make the best fruit brandy in the world. German still-maker Christian Carl built his first still to Hans's own design in 1994; his first commercial release, 100 bottles of Williams Pear in 1995, sold out to Vienna's top restaurants almost immediately; and by 1996 he'd won Schnapps of the Year at the Destillata trade fair. He's been chasing purity ever since. The farm now spans 140 hectares of certified organic fruit trees, barley, and wheat, and in 2019 the entire distillery was torn down and rebuilt as an energy self-sufficient facility with Carl stills so precise they control temperature to a twentieth of a degree across 48 points. Every mash is double distilled with the heads and tails discarded — only the heart is kept. Hans has distilled almost everything: pear, quince, apricot, plum, raspberry, elderflower, ginger. Tomatoes failed. Carrots didn't — the Carrot eau-de-vie, requiring 77 pounds of biodynamic carrots per liter and rested three years, became the most famous bottle in the range. The house also makes the celebrated Blue Gin from estate wheat, vodka, single malt whisky, and a sloe gin with almost no added sugar. Clarity, fineness, and detail without equal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBrowse our full Hans Reisetbauer collection with fast nationwide shipping delivered straight to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"hans-reisetbauer-12-year-old-single-malt-whisky","title":"Hans Reisetbauer 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/strong\u003eWhisky \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750mL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48% Alc\/Vol \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Austria \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hans Reisetbauer 12 Year Old Single Malt Whisky is a premium whisky that is crafted with exceptional care and precision.

Organic sloe berries are gently pressed and macerated for six weeks in Reisetbauer Blue Gin, an award-winning London Dry style gin triple-distilled in a Christian Carl copper pot still from estate-grown Mulan wheat. Reisetbauer Sloeberry Sloe Gin is made with 28 botanicals in total sourced from 14 countries and proofed down with fresh sloeberry juice. While most sloe gins contain an average of 100 g\/l of added sugar, Reisetbauer Sloe Gin relies purely on the natural sugars within the organic sloe berries and clocks in at a bone-dry 6 g\/l of sugar as a result. The natural tannins of the berry come to the fore, complemented by flavors of coriander, lemon zest, and mint. This lively spirit pairs perfectly with tonic or ginger beer, and functions distinctly as a cocktailing component. 28% ABV.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43699336347904,"sku":"C0006914L","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/products\/SloeberryBlue.jpg?v=1680991351"},{"product_id":"hans-reisetbauer-7-year-old-single-malt-whisky","title":"Hans Reisetbauer 7 Year Old Single Malt Whisky","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type: \u003c\/strong\u003eWhisky \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750mL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43% Alc\/Vol \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Austria","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43699429835008,"sku":"C0006916L","price":144.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/products\/Hans7yr.jpg?v=1680997043"},{"product_id":"hans-reisetbauer-reisetbauer-son-15-year-whisky","title":"Hans Reisetbauer 'REISETBAUER \u0026 SON' 15 Year Whisky","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Whisky \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750mL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProof\u003c\/strong\u003e: 48% Alc\/Vol \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Austria \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription: \u003c\/strong\u003eReiseitbauer \u0026amp; Son’s line of single malt whiskies are over 25 years in the making.
