Hotel-owned Distillery

The tradition of distilling schnapps has been maintained at Praxmarer House for generations. In the Holderli distillery, local fruits such as apples, pears, plums, and Spenlinge – an old wild plum variety from the Tyrolean mountains – have been and are processed into fine spirits. Characterful classics like rowan berries and the well-known gentian complete the range.

Klemens has expanded the distillery in recent years with the Kaunertal Fullmoon Gin and the Holderli Rum – powerful, distinctive, and strictly limited. Only 500 numbered bottles of the "Pirate of the Mountains" have been filled.
