The Top 10 Liqueurs from Austria: the best-known brands & their best liqueurs

Without further ado, we'll get straight to the point, or rather, the bottled. Below, we present the best liqueur producers and liqueurs from Austria.

Gurktaler

This traditional and multi-award-winning company from the Gurktal in Carinthia boasts various first-class spirits, which are produced and refined with the help of selected, regional herbs. The exclusive selection of the best ingredients has led to the " Gurktaler " becoming known and loved beyond the country's borders. The company produces herbal liqueurs that are second to none and are also gladly taken home as souvenirs of the idyllic and particularly natural Gurktal by the many tourists who visit Carinthia every year. This company focuses particularly on old traditional recipes and the use of fresh herbs.

 

Gurktaler Alpenkräuter


The Gurktaler Alpine Herb Liqueur is a true collection of ingredients. It consists of no less than 59 carefully selected herbs, roots, seeds, and fruits, which together result in a liqueur characterized by a fine, tart taste and balance.

 

 

Gurktaler Alpenkräuter


"Der Klare" from Gurktaler was not awarded the silver medal at the World Spirits Awards in 2019 for nothing. This fine and noble spirit is essentially based on the aforementioned "Gurktaler Alpenkräuter" liqueur but has been further developed and refined with first-class distillates. It also consists of 59 hand-picked alpine herbs from the Gurktal and has become an indispensable part of Austria's spirits world.

Gschpusi

"Gschpusi" is not only an Austrian word for a romance or a term of endearment for one's sweetheart, but also the name of a liqueur brand from "Party-Shot". As the manufacturer's name suggests, its range features various shots that are popular at parties and offer plenty of variety thanks to the wide selection. Under the motto "Buy Gschpusi – Get a Kiss", here's liqueur from Austria in a shot format!

 

Gschpusi Cream


The Gschpusi Cream Liqueur is a delicious liqueur with 17% vol., characterized by a particularly creamy consistency, and is a must-have at any party to be enjoyed with friends. It's particularly pleasing that these liqueur shots are available in practical bulk packs.

 

 

Gschpusi Ice


The Gschpusi Ice with 20% vol. not only looks cool thanks to its ice-blue color, it is cool. This party shot liqueur impresses with an intense ice candy flavor that clearly sets it apart from other common liqueurs. With this Austrian liqueur, you'll bring color to every party

 

Mozart

Mozart is not only the name of one of the greatest and most significant musical geniuses, but also of the eponymous distillery from Salzburg, which can look back on a 60-year company history. Here, first-class chocolate and liqueurs are not only central, but they practically merge into a symphony that could have come from Mozart himself. The Mozart liqueurs, all inviting to their own distinct taste journey, also impress with an unmistakable and aesthetic appearance. These excellent liqueurs from Austria are not only incredibly delicious and beautiful to look at, they also embody a piece of Austrian music history. Thanks to their appealing packaging, Mozart liqueurs are also excellent as gifts or as eye-catchers on the living room shelf.


 

Mozart Dark Chocolate


The Mozart Dark Chocolate is made from 87% cocoa macerate and the finest bitter dark chocolate. This liqueur gets its unmistakable taste from Bourbon vanilla and a vanilla macerate. The cocoa from West Africa and the 30-day maceration of the cocoa beans and vanilla in fine sugar alcohol ultimately wonderfully round off the unique taste of this noble spirit. Mozart Dark Chocolate tastes primarily bittersweet and is characterized by notes of vanilla, caramel, and fine cocoa. This liqueur from Austria is not only fantastic to drink neat, but also to refine various desserts and sweet dishes.

Mozart White Chocolate Cream Strawberry


In this liqueur, the two cocoa varieties Forastero and Trinitario merge with fine spirits to create a true delight for the palate. After the cocoa has completely settled during production, the cocoa macerate can be skimmed off and distilled before further processing. The taste experience offered by a Mozart White Chocolate Cream Strawberry is almost indescribable, as it resembles a wonderful melody. Smooth melting white chocolate combines with creamy cream and first-class cocoa distillate, merging with the fruity taste of strawberries to create a total work of art. We recommend enjoying this delightful Mozart liqueur best chilled and neat or as a frappé.

 

Bailoni

The traditional family business Bailoni from the Wachau not only looks back on a rich history dating back to 1872 but also boasts a wide range of spirits (as well as other delicacies such as nectars, fine brandies, jams, juices, teas, etc.) produced using first-class, fully ripe apricots from the Wachau. This unique, excellent quality of Bailoni spirits is reflected in numerous awards and is known far beyond the borders of the Wachau.

 

Bailoni Wachauer Gold Apricot Liqueur


The Wachau Apricot Liqueur is a high-quality product from the 1st Wachau Apricot Distillery and also a protected product that may only be produced in the Wachau. This apricot liqueur is gently processed using freshly harvested apricots, so that both the intense aroma and the vitamins contained in the fruits are preserved. Characteristic of this wonderful delicacy is not only its unique aroma and beautiful orange color, but also the fact that the fruit content is twice as high as the legally required proportion of 20%.

Spitz

The Spitz company has long been an indispensable part of Austria. The trading company, founded by Salomon Spitz in 1857, has specialized in food and beverages from Austria for over 160 years and stands for quality and tradition. Under the company motto "Passion for Taste," Spitz also produces first-class liqueurs that are not only of excellent quality but are also made using regional ingredients.

 

Spitz Ang'setzta Zirbe


The Swiss pine (Zirbe) is not only an important and special tree known for its fragrant wood (and resin), which is used for making beds, furniture, or entire rooms, but its cones are also used to produce delicious schnapps, liqueurs, juices, etc. A wonderful example of such pine products is the Ang'setzta Zirbe liqueur from Spitz. This liqueur is prepared according to a traditional family recipe using hand-picked ingredients like Swiss pine cones from Styria. The typical deep red color and the unmistakable resinous taste of the liqueur make it a spirit that invites shared enjoyment in cheerful company. Of course, this liqueur should not be missing in any alpine hut, to regain strength after a strenuous ascent or to warm the body from within in cold temperatures.

Spitz Egg Brandy (Egg Liqueur)


As with all other products from Spitz, only high-quality ingredients are used to produce an excellent alcoholic beverage – as is the case with this egg brandy. The delicious egg brandy is not only perfect for sweetening and refining desserts or ice cream, but also for enjoying neat. Perfectly timed for the upcoming Advent and Christmas season, this  egg liqueur from Spitz is also an excellent gift for dear friends – or even better – to be enjoyed together with them.

 



Baumann

For over 100 years, the Tyrolean herbal distillery  Baumann has ensured that the world of spirits has been enriched with some outstanding products. In addition to rural tradition, great care, and much love in preparation, nature is at the heart of everything they do. The finest ingredients, sun-ripened fruits, Tyrolean spring water, and regional herbs and plants form the basis of every spirit from Baumann. Under the motto "Your genuine piece of Tyrol since 1916," this traditional company offers not only liqueurs from Austria but also schnapps and brandies, as well as other specialties of excellent quality.

 

Baumann Glacier Ice & Fire Liqueur


The Glacier Ice & Fire Liqueur from the Tyrolean producer Baumann captivates at first glance with its arctic-blue color. However, one should not be fooled by its "cool" appearance. Once you have tried it, your heart will quickly warm up. 50% Vol. alcohol and the selection of first-class regional ingredients make this liqueur not only visually something very special. As a feast for the eyes and palate, the Ice & Fire Liqueur invigorates the senses and invites pure enjoyment – preferably in good company with dear friends.
