Windspiel Manufaktur, located in the volcanic Eifel region of western Germany, is renowned for its artisanal gin, vodka, and tonic water—all crafted from hand-harvested potatoes grown on local volcanic soil. The name Windspiel (meaning “greyhound” in German) pays homage to Frederick the Great’s love of both potatoes and greyhounds, uniting these two passions into a brand that celebrates precision, elegance, and natural craftsmanship.
Windspiel spirits are distilled in small batches and reflect a commitment to both heritage and innovation. The cool climate, mineral-rich volcanic soils, and careful attention to detail in every step of the production process help create exceptionally smooth, refined, and characterful products.
Windspiel sources its potatoes from its own Eifel farmland, ensuring complete control over the raw ingredients. The distillation process combines traditional copper stills with modern expertise, and all products—from the award-winning Windspiel Premium Dry Gin to their barrel-aged Reserve Gin—are bottled and labeled by hand. Windspiel also collaborates with regional artisans and chefs, adding further depth to its premium profile in Germany’s craft spirit scene.
