There has been a distillery at the Stählemühle site since the mid-19th century. In 2004, Christoph Keller and Christiane Schöller transformed it from a rural liquor still into an experimental distillery for top-quality fruit brandies.
The hexagonal bottle in thick clear or brown glass is closed with a cork and recalls old-fashioned apothecary bottles. This is deliberate, as the striking, archetypal form and the analogy to precious essences are a perfect match for the high-proof contents.
