About this Event
Branchwater is honored to welcome Master Distiller Hans Reisetbauer to the farm for an intimate tasting of his Austrian schnapps, his adjacent brand, Truman Vodka, and Branchwater spirits, for which Hans consults.
Hans and Branchwater distillery founder, Kevin Pike have been friends for over twenty years, and Kevin learned distillation from Hans directly. In fact, the two Christian Carl 330L copper pot stills at Branchwater were Hans’ original stills, which were retrofitted for steam and shipped to the Hudson Valley 4 years ago. A shared philosophy of respect, partnership, and commitment to quality inspire every bottle we produce.
In approach, Reisetbauer and Branchwater spirits are distilled with the same precision and care; the differences in our spirits are found in the types of grains and fruits we produce and the terroir in which they are grown.
Truman was developed by Hans as a premium sipping Vodka for the U.S. market. It is made from 100% certified organic wheat and Alpine Spring water from the heart of Austria.
Guests will have the opportunity to taste through a range of spirits from Reisetbauer Brand, Branchwater Farms as well as Truman Vodka and pre-order directly at the event. Emma from The Bottle Shop at Astor Square in Rhinebeck will be on site to take your order requests for fulfillment the following week.
Come meet a legend of the spirits industry and experience what an uncompromising commitment to quality tastes like.
