Klaar Kiming Aquavit is a German aquavit bottled at 39% vol and named after the North Frisian expression “klarer Horizont” (“clear horizon”). The spirit is built around a classic combination of caraway, dill, and additional spices, giving it a distinctly Nordic aromatic profile.
In the glass, it appears crystal clear. The nose shows fresh notes of caraway and dill with a light herbal spice. On the palate, the aquavit is soft and balanced: the caraway–dill core is supported by a subtle citrus touch, followed by a warm, lingering finish.
Klaar Kiming Aquavit can be enjoyed chilled, over ice, or in simple cocktails such as an Aquavit & Tonic, a Collins, or a spiced mule variation.
About the producer
Brennerei Ziegler
Freudenberg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
Brennerei Ziegler is a German distillery based in Freudenberg am Main, operating since 1865. The company originated as a brewery with an inherited distilling privilege, which allowed founder Gustav Joseph Ziegler to produce brandy alongside beer. Ziegler held qualifications as a brewer, cooper, and distiller, and the distillery developed early recognition for its fruit-based spirits.
Through the 20th century, Ziegler continued to work with traditional raw materials and manual distillation methods at its original site. In the 1980s, the introduction of the fruit spirit Ziegler No.1 Wildkirsch increased the brand’s visibility in the gastronomy sector. Ziegler later expanded its range with cask-aged distillates, and since 2008 it has also produced single malt whisky – the first whisky from the Untermain region.
Today, Brennerei Ziegler focuses on controlled small-batch production, sourcing fruit and grains selectively and maintaining a combination of historical equipment and modern techniques. The distillery remains one of the better-known producers of German fruit spirits, with distribution primarily in Germany and selected international markets.
