In the picturesque countryside of Riegersburg in Styria, Alois Goelles is the
third generation to run the traditional family fruit-growing business. After
graduating from the renowned Federal College for Wine and Fruit Growing in
Klosterneuburg, he dedicated himself to refining his parents' harvest of apples,
pears, plums and peaches. His entry into the distillation of fine brandies began
in 1979, followed by the founding of his manufactory for high-quality vinegar in
1984. Today, the range includes around twenty fine brandies and just as many
types of vinegar, which regularly receive recognition.

The Hands on Gin Small Batch is produced using just five essentials in
double-distilled white rum. The juniper gives this gin the pleasant spiciness
that makes up the basic structure of a fine gin. In addition, the black currant
together with the white rum ensures a pleasantly full mouthfeel and, like the
juniper, contributes to a fine earthy-herbal note.
