With the end of the spirits monopoly for closed distilleries in 2013, almost all potato distilleries were forced to close.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eNose\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003enutty, floral\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePalate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003evegetal, dried fruit, apricot, potato\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFinish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003efruity, bitter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration-line: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol content\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: 40% vol. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eWhat Peter Day does in his distillery on the Lower Rhine is the exact opposite of mass production. NICOLA 044 is a single-varietal distillate. The starchy mash from regional Nicola potatoes is saccharified, fermented, and then double-distilled directly in the 150-liter still. The result is a highly aromatic distillate with floral and nutty notes as well as hints of apricot and dried fruit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeter Day\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eDistiller | Kempen, Lower Rhine\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wackertapp Mill, where Peter Day lives and works with his wife Käthe, has stood in Kempen on the Lower Rhine since 1842. In 2017, he converted the mill's old flour storage area into a distillery. In doing so, Peter followed his passion for distilling. After 25 years of work in an advertising agency, \"it is wonderful to create things that are truly close to one's heart,\" he says.\u003cbr\u003eIt is not only fruit varieties that are processed into fine fruit brandies in his 150-liter copper still. He takes particular pleasure in distilling starchy materials such as spelt or single-varietal potatoes just like fruit, thus achieving similarly complex aromas. When distilling, he takes care to carefully enrich the aromas through slow heating and the lowest possible temperatures.\u003cbr\u003e\"It is a true fulfillment to make a product that then stands for evaluation,\" is how Peter describes his motivation. And this has been rewarded many times over. Among others at the Craft Spirits Berlin Awards, where his spirit was chosen as the best spirit of the year in 2018.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Freimeisterkollektiv (FMK)","offers":[{"title":"0.5L","offer_id":54886146310477,"sku":"748910","price":36.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0.2L","offer_id":54886146343245,"sku":"741984","price":17.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/2822\/0749\/files\/748910-2.jpg?v=1790587738","url":"https:\/\/schoenbichler.at\/en\/products\/freimeisterkollektiv-nicola","provider":"Theehandlung Schönbichler","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
