Raerener Töpfergeist
ORGANIC GIN
The ancestor of gin is genever, also called « pékèt » when it is produced in Wallonie. «Raerener Töpfergeist» – to be translated by «The spirit of the potter of Raeren» – is produced by macerating and distilling juniper berries (juniperus communis) in organic wheat alcohol.
Its name refers to the history of the pottery centre of Raeren, the most important and most famous one north of the Alps between the 14th and 16th century.
It is the oldest product of the distillery, its origin dates back to 1836!
