A Passion For Distilling Mild Schnapps Since 1886
The Prinz Distillery is located in Hörbranz – in the middle of the beautiful Leiblachtal, framed by Lake Constance and the majestic Alps. As a family business, we are closely connected to the people, nature and traditions of the region. Well acquainted with the secrets of the art of distilling, we focus on creating enjoyment of the highest quality.
We combine traditional distilling methods and innovative know-how. Only the best raw materials find their way into our stills – this is how our fine 34 % vol spirit is created.
We have been passionately distilling schnapps for 130 years. Our distillery was the first in Austria to distil such a mild and light 34 % blend.
Our Schnapps Is Light And Easy To Drink: Our Range Is Opulent
The charmingly fruity 34 % spirits from the Prinz Distillery are available in 12 aromatic varieties. A strong fruit content and a beautiful, velvety texture in the finish distinguish our 34 % spirits. Our fruit schnapps are named with the Vorarlberg dialect. Try our Kirscherla, Zwetschgerla, Birnerla, Himbeerla, Nusserla or Zirberla.
Prinz House Schnapps: A Harmonious Blend Of Apricots
The sweet-sour fruit note of our House Schnapps is reminiscent of biting into a ripe, juicy apricot. Our fruit experts give this tasty fruit all the time it needs to ripen on the tree.
Our House Schnapps is floral on the nose and very soft in the finish. Pure apricot. Celebrate life with the original House Schnapps from Prinz, the Hausi.
A Delicious Walk Through The Forest
Pleasantly mild and sweet with a hint of floral notes – this is how the Prinz raspberry schnapps introduces itself. Experience a real fruit explosion with every sip of Himbeerla.
Multifaceted And Refined
A harmonious composition of mildly spicy aromas, surrounded by strong cherry notes and delicate almond tones, makes our Kirscherla a great drinking pleasure.
Hazelnut – Hard Shell, Soft Centre
Rustic hints of roasted aromas dominate this exceptional Nusserla. Particularly soft on the palate, it comes across as incredibly flavourful.
Distilling Technology
Prinz Schnapps From Lake Constance: For A Real Taste Of The Alps
All our fruit is carefully harvested. Every apricot, cherry, plum or pear remains on the tree until it has reached the optimum degree of ripeness. The harvesting process can take several weeks because the fruits are not all ripe at the same time.
The Prinz Distillery has been in partnership with these fruit growers for decades, sharing the common goal of striving for top quality. They know in which location the different fruits ripen to perfection. Only full-bodied, crisp fruit forms the basis for the outstanding fruit enjoyment of our light 34 % schnapps.
Our master distillers only process absolutely fresh fruit into each fruit schnapps variety. The distilling process is particularly gentle in order to extract the full fruit flavour.
The distillates are then matured for up to six years according to old tradition. During this time, the fine aromas of our fruit schnapps develop. This careful refinement produces a particularly beautiful interplay of fruit and alcohol.
Drinking Recommendation
Our fruity schnapps develops optimally in a slightly bulbous schnapps glass or in a snifter. Both glasses bring out the character particularly well. Enjoy the classics with all your senses at a temperature between 15 and 18 °C.
