Prenzel celebrates 20 years of distilling with Bowle
As The Prenzel Distilling Company turns twenty, the traditional methods of producing quality European flavours continue to be entwined with a taste of Kiwi excellence. Bowle (pronounced ‘Bowl-a’ and so called as it is typically served in a large glass bowl) is the latest delight to roll out of the doors of the Marlborough distillery. Traditional recipes from Germany and the Alsace region of France use fruit sprinkled with sugar, then soaked in brandy as a base. Prenzel Distilling have developed a spirit especially for this purpose. White wine is later added and chilled, then before serving, champagne is also stirred into the mix. (For a lighter version, lemonade/soda can be used.)

Hot on the heels of Gold at the World Beverage Competition in Florida, Prenzel’s Limoncello and Southern Star Vodka were each awarded another gold medal at the World Spirits Awards in Austria. The celebrating hardly had time to wind down when another Gold for their Vodka was announced at the Monde Selection in Brussels.
Most companies would be excited about the Silver and Bronze medals Espresso has secured but these awards have been rather overshadowed by the achievements of the relatively new Vodka and Limoncello.

Oak-aged Black Boy Peach Liqueur 2010 is the latest release of Prenzel's handcrafted Limited Editions.
Made from black boy peaches hand picked by Hugh Steadman from his farm, the peaches were mascerated in alcohol for approximately 6 months before our distiller Hayden Johnstone spent 6 hours straining and filtering the pulpy masceration by hand. After that it was aged in an oak barrel for about 3 months. This is the smallest limited edition run we have done at 442 bottles!
The flavour of the peaches are so intense, which gives this latest limited edition liqueur its beautiful flavour.
