Edeldistillery Oberhofer - Your specialist for schnapps in Hall in Tyrol

Robert Oberhofer is deeply passionate about distilling schnapps and places particular emphasis on the careful selection of ingredients. In his premium distillery, he processes select fruits, with the degree of ripeness playing a key role in the purchasing process. The purity, quality, and flavor of the raw materials are also decisive criteria in the selection process.

After careful selection, the fruit is washed, destemmed, and pitted, and then immediately crushed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks and is overseen by Robert Oberhofer, who brings many years of experience and a keen sense for the craft to the process. The result is distinctive Tyrolean fine brandies produced without any added flavorings, which highlight the natural flavor of the fruit used.

Robert Oberhofer had always had an interest in schnapps making. In the course of time his curiosity and urge to give it a go himself became ever greater, and in 1965, he set up a small distillery in the family hotel, the country hotel, the Reschenhof in Mils. The very first attempts were not really all that successful but Robert Oberhofer was undeterred and continued in his trails.

After a brief phase getting used to distilling and a few hard lessons, the first successes followed. Robert Oberhofer produced his first, very acceptable, schnapps. Looking at it objectively however, everything was still somewhat up in the air.
