Horvath's Bio Zirben Schnaps 0,5l 32%

Horvath's Bio Zirben Schnaps is a spirit made from Swiss stone pine, also known as Zirbe. This traditional Alpine beverage, also referred to as “Zirbeler” or “Zirbener,” has long been prized in mountainous regions for its distinctive, invigorating, and unmistakable character.

The taste of this schnapps is woody, forest-like, and resinous. It evokes mountain forests, hikes to forested peaks, and the atmosphere of the Alps. Swiss stone pine, often called the “queen of the Alps,” gives the spirit an exceptional aroma that differs significantly from common fruit schnapps or herbal liqueurs.
