Product information "Gurkengeist - cucumber spirit"

A distillate with the name cucumber spirit may seem strange to many at first, but this changes quickly once you have enjoyed the wonderfully fresh and extraordinary aromas of this spirit. The popular "crooked gherkins" from the island of Reichenau are used for the production. The island on Lake Constance is famous for its exceptional microclimate, which is particularly favorable for the cultivation of fruit and vegetables. Macerated in grain alcohol and then distilled, this indigenous product releases an aroma that knows no bounds, making it an essential, wonderful addition to any bar. With 40% vol. and without the addition of sugar or colourings, the gherkin spirit can be enjoyed pure and as an ingredient in long drinks and cocktails thanks to its fresh and light taste. Like all distillates from Faude Feine Brande, only regional and fresh ingredients are used for the gherkin spirit, which is why availability is very limited.

Faude Feine Brände

Florian Faude, born in 1984, belongs to a new generation of fruit distillers. The young man is actually a trained winegrower, but the fruit aroused his interest very early on. Already at the beginning of his apprenticeship he developed the idea of “Faude Feine Brande”. The aim is to revise the dusty image of the fruit brandy. With a healthy down-to-earth attitude, he notes that burned fruit used to be of modest quality and one thing is very clear: If you only throw windfall fruit into the burn pot, you shouldn't be surprised if only a "throat cleaner" comes out at the bottom. For this reason, Faude only uses fully ripe, flawless seasonal fruit. It is also important to him that he only obtains the fruit that he does not grow himself from local businesses that he is friends with. The effort he puts into may be very high, but numerous medals and awards prove that customers such as the First Class Lounge of Lufthansa in Berlin rightly know what is made in Bötzingen am Kaiserstuhl.
