Hans Reisetbauer, Rowanberry Eau de Vie, NV (1.5L)

You don’t see a lot of rowanberry spirits—and certainly not in 1.5L magnums. But Hans Reisetbauer isn’t your average distiller. He’s one of Austria’s true eau de vie masters, turning rare fruit into pure, expressive spirits with near-obsessive precision. Rowanberries (aka mountain ash) are tiny, bitter, and a pain to work with. But distilled by Reisetbauer, they become something wild and compelling: alpine herbs, citrus zest, tart red fruit, and a slight nuttiness, all delivered in a bone-dry, crystal-clear frame. No sugar, no aging—just the essence of the fruit, fermented and slowly distilled with laser focus. The magnum format is a total unicorn—perfect for collectors, spirits geeks, or anyone looking to pour something no one else at the table has tried. Serve chilled after a meal or alongside Alpine cheeses and charcuterie for a next-level pairing.
