With a hay bath in south Tirol, during a family holiday was the start of an idea; If hay improves the body to a higher level on the outside, a treatment with a hay for the inside of the body can't be bad either.

And that's why Martin "Stiegenhauser" Fankhauser from Schwendau tuned this idea for almost a year, to combine the taste and the "effect" of hay from the Zillertal Alps and let it come back in one of his superior brandies. Many different hay sorts from the valley and from the alm were tested, before finally the best base product was found: The still with scythe mown hay, with all his flowers and herbs directly from Franz his distillery cabin in Ginzling, offers the best quality basis to melt, together with riped apples from Austria, into an uncomparable harmonic taste

 "For many people the brandy helps as a preventive measure against hayfever", grins Martin Fankhauser at the question which "effects" the  branded "Original Zillertaler Mountain Hay Brandy" actually has. " And when the Hay Brandy is drunk with measure, it works not only aphrodising, but makes man and women feel sexy. How it works? The best is, you try it yourselves and find out", he adds with a mischievous smile on his face.
