We’re not exotic but typically Swiss.

Our strengths include quality awareness, accuracy, independence and passion. Plus our deep roots in this region are important to us. All of the above flows into the production of XELLENT.

Our XELLENT Vodka is the result of local craftsmanship.

We manufacture the mash from scratch using high-quality bread-grade rye. We know exactly where our raw materials come from: they are cultivated by 18 farmers in the Napf region, right in the heart of Central Switzerland. Small-scale cultivation makes it possible to carefully handle the plants and harvest them at optimum ripeness. In this way, we get the quality we need.

The mash forms the basis for making the vodka and is produced in a process requiring elaborate craftsmanship. It is crucial for developing the character which we give to our Xellent.

Our products are based on distilling craftsmanship. To produce the first raw spirit of XELLENT, we distil using the traditional pot still method. In the second distillation phase, the raw spirit is purified in a reflux still consisting of a small copper column with 45 plates. This is followed by a third distillation phase which further refines the flavour.

No hurrying: we give our vodka enough time to develop its own character. Titlis water is then added to reduce the drinking strength to 40% ABV.

The water in the spirit is also a key ingredient. We use water from the Titlis Glacier to make our vodka. The glacier water is soft and contains oxygen and minerals, all of which give XELLENT its unique flavour.

First add some XELLENT Vodka. Then put a bit of passion into it: our master distiller’s enthusiasm for herbs and plants from the company’s own garden.

Prior to distillation, the ingredients are soaked in vodka for several hours. This enables the aromas and flavours of juniper berries and herbs like lemon balm, edelweiss, woodruff and lavender to fully develop. Careful distillation and the addition of glacier water are key factors in producing XELLENT Swiss Edelweiss Gin.
