{"id":102,"count":16,"description":"Regional schnapps and spirits from our Eifler schnapps distillery\nWith the mill's own schnapps distillery, Chefm\u00fcller Erwin fulfilled his long-awaited childhood dream of \"distilling schnapps\" in 2003. Since then he has been producing his own liqueur & brandy directly in Birgel with the best regional ingredients from the Vulkaneifel.\nHow are the fine brandies made?\nIn the schnapps distillery, the closed kettle is fired with overpressure. The distillery from the mill dates from 1984 and is still fired with wood, which guarantees a high expenditure of time, since constant presence is a must to keep the firing of the distillery under control at all times. The still with a capacity of 149 liters is incorporated in the closed kettle. Alcohol has a boiling point of 72 degrees, so when the mash is heated, the alcohol is separated from the water by distillation. The cooler condenses the whole thing again and so, in the end, the alcohol can be collected. Then, as a precaution, the pre-run, middle run and run-on are separated from each other.\n\nFruit brandy, fruit schnapps and fruit spirit? But where exactly is the difference? Quite simply: in the manufacturing process.\n\nFor our fruit spirit, low-sugar and low-starch berries, nuts or fruits are used that are not mashed but fermented before distillation. Popular and common ingredients are raspberries, walnuts, hazelnuts and sloes. By adding neutral alcohol, the aromas are removed from you, this soaking process is called maceration. After successfully soaking the ingredients, they are distilled.\n\nIn the case of fruit brandy or fruit schnapps, one speaks of a spirit that is made from fruits such as apples, pears, plums or plums. These fruits are mashed and then distilled. After the distillation, the fruit distillate has an alcohol content between 70-80%. Finally, the brandy is then filled with soft water in order to reduce it to the desired drinking strength of 40-42%.\nAn overview of the brandies\nOur apple brandy<\/a> is made exclusively from apples from the region. The classic brandy tastes particularly full-bodied and mild in taste.\n\nWith our echo stopper apple brandy stored in oak barrels<\/a> , we speak of a definite rarity. Its wonderful fruit aroma and the subtle note of wood make it a particularly noble taste experience.\n\nOur hazelnut spirit<\/a> impresses with its distinctive nutty taste and aromatic scent.\n\nOur raspberry spirit<\/a> seduces with its extraordinarily aromatic smell and its intensely fruity taste, which extends from the nose to the palate.\n\nOur unique elder brandy<\/a> is made from the most famous wild fruits of the Eifel. The fruits give the brandy a unique scent and unusual taste that only elderberry can give.\n\nOur cherry brandy made from Eifel bird cherries<\/a> is characterized by its wonderful fragrance, which is slightly reminiscent of marzipan, and its fine, opulent taste. Due to its long reverberation, it leaves a lasting impression.\n\nOur Mirabelle brandy<\/a> is made from sun-ripened mirabelle plums, which give the brandy a uniquely mild, sweet fruit taste and a wonderfully floral note.\n\nWhen it comes to our mill<\/a> brandy, we speak of a very special product from our schnapps distillery, which we also like to call \"Eifelgrappa\", without exaggerating.\n\nOur mill whiskey<\/a> is not only a real eye-catcher because of its golden color. Because its elaborate manufacturing process also makes it one of our unique brandy specialties. Because it is stored in oak barrels, it gets its unmistakable M\u00fchle original taste.\n\nOur fruit brandy<\/a> is a perfect interplay of local apples and pears, refined with the finest in-house sloe, cherry and elder brandy and thus a fusion of the most excellent fruit flavors.\n\nOur fruit brandy number 1<\/a> is made on the same basis as our fruit brandy, but that's not all, after all, it's not number 1 for nothing! The specialty lies in the mash. Every year Chefm\u00fcller Erwin creates a new composition for the mash.\n\nOur sloe<\/a> brandy is a special brandy specialty made from the fruits of the blackthorn. In terms of taste, the fruit aroma is reminiscent of cherries or plums. Due to its elaborate harvest, it is considered a real rarity.\n\nOur Schlehengeist<\/a> is also one of our fine brandy specialties. Full-bodied and aromatic in taste, it is a delight for every gourmet.\n\nOur mustard spirit<\/a> is probably our most extraordinary brandy and a loyal companion in the kitchen. When cooking, it can be used to refine hearty meat and grill dishes.\n\nOur plum brandy<\/a> is made from regional plums and has a particularly mild and full-bodied taste. Since the whole fruit is processed with stone, plums are often accompanied by a slight note of almonds.","link":"https:\/\/www.muehlebirgel.de\/en\/shop\/brandies","name":"Brandies","slug":"brandies","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":0,"meta":[],"yoast_head":"\nBrandies online kaufen -
