Hoolgaascht

"Nature makes nothing in vain" - true to this dogma of Aristotle, I, Marco Hage, first devoted myself to high-proof pleasures in 2001, when I harvested, cleaned, mashed and fermented the fruits of the full fruit trees on the estate of Villa Waldhof in Upper Swabia.

After proper maturation and distillation, the result was a mirabelle plum brandy that quickly convinced me as a layman and the first connoisseurs in my circle of acquaintances, and which laid the foundation for my passion for high-quality alcoholic beverages. The pursuit of the highest possible natural quality, the hunger for novelty and my experimental enthusiasm have created a wealth of experience over the years, which today comes into its own in the production of noble distillates.

In 2008 I settled in Schwäbisch Hall and immediately found my adopted home here. Away from my professional activities, I continued the production of partially barrel-aged brandies and enriched the range from classics to refined cuvées to real rarities from local wild berries. Secretly, however, I flirted with a spirit that had fascinated me since my business studies and has become a faithful companion to this day: GIN. And so today I make a variety of exclusive gins that live up to their name.
