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.
