Hiebl Vinschgau Apricot Brandy — 40 % vol, 35 cl
Apricot at its finest.
The Vinschgau apricot, from South Tyrol's Val Venosta, is considered one of the most aromatic apricots of all — ripened in one of the driest, sunniest valleys in the Alps. Georg Hiebl distils it single-variety and captures exactly that intensity.
The fruit
Where other apricots stay watery, the Vinschgau variety brings concentration: plenty of scent, plenty of fruit, a fine acidity. That is the basis for a brandy that doesn't hint at apricot but states it out loud.
Aroma & taste
Ripe apricot on the nose, rich and warm, with the typical note of the apricot kernel — a touch of marzipan and almond. Full and fruit-driven on the palate, elegantly structured, with a long, clean finish.
Awarded
At Craft Spirits Berlin 2026, Europe's most important competition for craft spirits, Hiebl's Vinschgau apricot brandy was awarded Gold.
How to enjoy it
Neat at around 16–18 °C in a brandy glass. Not ice-cold — the fruit needs a little warmth to open up. A classic digestif with real presence.

Destillerie Hiebl — Mostviertel, Austria
Some people distil fruit. Georg Hiebl captures character.
His aim is simple to state and hard to achieve: preserve the character of a fruit in its original form and concentrate it in the glass — until aroma, colour and taste become one. Nothing added from the outside, no shortcuts. Only the best raw fruit, carefully handled.
Single-variety by conviction
The range holds over 100 different fruit brandies and liqueurs. Hiebl specialises in single-variety distillation — especially of apples and pears — so each variety keeps its own character instead of disappearing into a blend.
Craft Distillery of the Year 2026
At Craft Spirits Berlin 2026, Europe's most important competition for craft spirits, Hiebl prevailed against 120 distilleries from 17 nations to take the overall title: Craft Distillery of the Year 2026. From 47 entries came four "Best in Class" golds, plus 19 further gold, 20 silver and 8 bronze medals — on top of several earlier "Distiller of the Year" honours.
