Harvesting is not really much fun...
Blackthorn is a wild type of plum that grows on bushes with lots of thorns. And you have to harvest them after the first frosty nights so that they don't develop tannins. So it's already colder. We pick the sloes ourselves or buy them locally. Later, when bottled, the sloe spirit tastes sweet and delicate, with a hint of marzipan.

Although he did not yet know exactly where the journey should go, one thing was certain: the region needs great spirits and he wanted to follow this call. Together with his wife Katharina, Martin sat down to plan the future project. The name MÆNNERHOBBY was chosen relatively quickly - what else should a small distillery in the village where Martin distills good schnapps be called? At that time, no one knew how big the whole thing would become. Martin didn't have any real prior knowledge, but that wasn't a problem either. In our digital age, you can always help yourself. Of...
