Quality that is close to our hearts.

Our products

We distil transparently, carefully and with a fine sense for quality and enjoyment. Get to know our premium spirits and discover the variety.

Discover our Gin

A walk through the Harz forest, captured in a gin. Inspired by dense woods, sunny clearings, clear air, wild herbs and berries. Four distinctive distillates capture this feeling in WOODWALK GIN – clear juniper, woody, fruity-earthy and fresh with citrus. Only their interplay becomes our gin.

Discover our Liqueurs

A pleasure to close your eyes, to linger over, to savour again and again

Discover our Brandies

Distilled with great sensitivity - every sip fine, pure, genuine.

Discover our Spirits

Fruity, clear, intense - distilled for special moments.

Real work. Real values.

Distilling is our craft

For us, distilling is more than just technology - it is a true craft that we live with passion. Our Harz Distillers process selected raw materials with sensitivity, experience and a keen sense of flavours - for spirits that have character.

Where it makes sense and is possible, we use ingredients from the Harz and the Harz foreland for our spirits, or work with partners from the area for individual processing steps. At the same time, not every raw material is native to our area or available in the quality and quantity we need. That is why we deliberately look beyond the borders of the Harz when selecting our ingredients.

Good selection, excellent quality, not mass-produced; when they’re out of stock, they’re out of stock, and new products don’t arrive until the following year. It’s always worth a visit.

I came in because of an advert in a leaflet which said, "This hazelnut liqueur is better than liquid Nutella" – and it really is. One sip and you’re enchanted. As soon as I stepped into the shop, I was overcome by a feeling of well-being and warmth. The background music further enhanced my tasting experience. The lady behind the counter was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell that a lot of passion has gone into this place. I’d love to come back.

We popped in on the spur of the moment and decided on the spot to have a tasting there and then, so that we wouldn’t end up choosing the wrong liqueurs to take home. In fact, we ended up buying different flavours. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the prices were reasonable too. We had a lovely, short evening at the distillery. There’s even a special stamp from the Harz Hiking Badge available there.

Definitely and without a shadow of a doubt well worth it!!We’d been given vouchers for a guided tour followed by a tasting, snacks and non-alcoholic drinks, and we were – and still are – absolutely delighted with the whole package! The team on site are genuinely passionate and authentic, and know exactly how to take even complete novices on an interesting and flavourful sensory journey. We live just 4 km away and were able to witness the entire construction phase of the distillery; we’re delighted that our wonderful adopted home has been enriched by such a special place! After the guided tour, we opted for the WoodWalk Intense and are now enjoying it at the weekend with a sprig of rosemary, a bit of organic lemon zest and some Thomas Henry Botanical Tonic, so that each of the ingredients can bring out the distinctive flavour of the WoodWalk Gin – although we also, and above all, enjoy it "simply neat on the rocks" :) An unbeatable taste experience – if you like gin ;) The open, light atmosphere, the colour scheme, the distillery’s architectural style and the focus on sustainability all create an airy and thoroughly appealing ambience that runs right through the entire building. Wherever you look, our beloved Harz region is ever-present. Passing travellers – and tourists of all kinds, in general – are sure to be just as delighted as we are. We can wholeheartedly recommend a visit, a tasting, a guided tour or simply popping in to have a look around!

It was worth every penny. .A really lovely setting. A brilliant tour – it was great to read all about it – and the schnapps, cake and coffee were DELICIOUS. We’ll be back.
Everything starts with passion.

In the Harz – an idea

The HARZ DISTILLERY – born out of a love for the region and for craftsmanship. What drives us? The wish to create special moments here at our distillery in the Harz: with our guests, premium spirits, open conversations and a genuine sense of togetherness.

This is how our bond with the Harz becomes tangible, visually and spatially: anyone visiting The HARZ DISTILLERY should find a piece of our home in the design and experience their own “Harz moment”. This regional connection shapes how we see ourselves – from our location and our appearance to our aspiration for the products: to use ingredients from the Harz and the Harz foreland wherever it makes sense and is possible.

Come by and get to know us – we look forward to seeing you. Together we combine tradition with a clear, positive future.
