Krater Spirits (meteorite distillery) - artisan spirits from the Ries crater
The Scheible family has been distilling in the heart of the Nördlinger Ries for centuries - today as the Meteorite Distillery. With wild juniper berries from the crater rim, traditional copper stills and a lot of love for the craft, handmade gins and liqueurs are produced in small batches.
Region & origin
Located in the Bavarian meteorite crater, Krater Spirits uses regional raw materials - in particular meteorite juniper from the heaths on the crater rim. This terroir makes the gins distinctive and limited.
Production & craft
The juniper berries are picked by hand, distillation takes place in hand-operated Wengler copper stills and each bottle is lovingly labeled and numbered.
