Tasting Notes Reiseitbauer & Sons line of single malt whiskies are over 25 years in the making. After establishing himself as one of the greatest producers of eau-du-vie and brandy in the world, Hans Reisetbauer turned to grain distillation. While his Mulan winter wheat-based vodka and gins amassed award after award over the years, his malted barley distillates patiently waited in their barrels. The end result: expertly crafted, fully matured Austrian single malt whisky.

After studying at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna, Hans son, Hansi Jr., spearheaded the holistic conversion of the Reisetbauer family farms agriculture to organic farming, leading to the farms organic certification. With the perfect raw material in tow, the malted barley mash is fermented for 70 hours in stainless steel tanks before being distilled in a Christian Carl copper pot still.
