WHAT IS IT? Only on the market since late 2009: “BERLINER BRANDSTIFTER” (Berlin Incendiary) – a seven-filtered premium schnapps from the capital - has been spreading through the bars, restaurants and clubs of the capital like wildfire.

WHO'S BEHIND IT? BERLINER BRANDSTIFTER is VINCENT HONRODT, a native of Berlin, with no qualifications or personal background in the art of schnapps creation. Through Vincent’s career in the communications scene his activities led him to create the philosophy of Brandstifter: "The main thing is that you burn with desire for something". "I am not a distiller, nor did I go through a long career in the beverage industry.”

Vincent's great-grandfather was the director of the sugar factory in Vossberg Letschin, near Berlin, and alongside providing Germans with sugar, he privately created his own schnapps.

WHY IS IT SO SPECIAL? Each bottle of BERLINER BRANDSTIFTER is handmade and unique. It is only produced in small editions of 1,000 pieces, each one hand-bottled and numbered.

WHERE CAN WE FIND IT? BERLINER BRANDSTIFTER can be found in selected bars, restaurants, clubs, specialist stores and ONLINE.
