A clear thing … 100 organic

Passionate and with a lot of dedication we, Doris and Josef Farthofer, run our organic distillery in Öhling near Amstetten. Already in the fifth generation Josef Farthofer distills high-quality fruit schnapps and fires. Josef thought and worked organicly at a time when the supermarket had more or less the first organic parades and only a few organic wines on the market; In the spirits sector, organic raw materials are still a rarity today. With an assortment of around 50 organic fires, liqueurs and spirits, our distillery is one of Europe’s most comprehensive organic spirits suppliers. It is important to us to deal responsibly with nature’s resources. It is possible to gain a market advantage in smaller companies through holistic action, to work meaningfully and to contribute to sustainable development among employees, suppliers and in one’s own family. In our company, not only the raw materials are organic, but also everywhere else we use recycled or sustainable materials. And you taste this uncompromisingness. We invite you to take your time. Enjoy our natural and gently produced spirits consciously and with pleasure.

Our own malting

Historically, breweries and whisky distilleries have always been self-deprecation. But the increasing industrialization in the middle of the 19th century separated the production of malt, beer and distillates.

Today, only a few large distilleries operate their own malting plant, and the grain germination has become a detached, independent trade. Farthofer’s malt drum has a capacity of two tons, which is small. But depending on the type of grain, the Mostviertler also makes only a total of 300 and 5000 bottles of whisky.
