Family tradition since 1921
Burnt in Germany
Since 1921, the Scheibel family has been dedicated to creating fine fruit brandies that you can not only taste, but truly experience. The Pleasure Distillery stands for a pioneering spirit: traditional distilling wisdom, craftsmanship and visionary processes are constantly being rethought to create unique distillates.
Every spirit is a complex piece of work. We transform hand-picked raw materials into genuine intellectual art and return the fruit to you in a refined form. We invite you to experience our fine brandies, come and smell and taste them in person at our premises in Kappelrodeck. We look forward to your visit!
Good brandies need time. Whether that means the time for the fruit to ripen, the right timing for distillation or the ideal storage time. We give our products all the time they need to meet our quality standards. Take your time for enjoyment too!
The Scheibel way has never been a well-trodden path. With this in mind, we pursue the goal of constantly developing ourselves and our products. With visionary processes, such as distillation over gold, and new products such as our Future range, we are constantly breaking new ground. Experience it for yourself.
Distilling is both an art and a craft steeped in tradition. Many tried and tested distilling wisdoms still determine what we do today. For example, we are the only commercial company in Germany that still distils over fire, as we did a hundred years ago. The result is brandies with a unique character!
Many of our work processes are still done by hand, just like in the old days. This is indeed the case, as it enables us to make our premium brandies noticeably different from the mass-produced products of many of our competitors, even for the consumer.

MY FAVORITE PRODUCTA few drops of our ALTE ZEIT wild raspberry brandy - and it's as if summer itself is dancing into the glass. For me, this is the pure soul of the fruit: clear, precise, without detours. The aroma is reminiscent of freshly picked raspberries in the morning dew - lively, delicate and natural. On the palate, it is complex and elegant - a delicate sweetness, carried by freshness, with a hint of wildness. Served slightly chilled in a spirit glass, it unfolds its full aroma and goes particularly well with dark chocolate. A brandy that brings a touch of light and lightness even in the darker months. For me: a pleasure that brings happiness.

MY FAVORITE PRODUCTThe Black Wild Currant Brandy is my absolute favorite. The aroma alone is a promise - like a summer's day in the garden when the berries are fully ripe on the bush. Deep red on the nose, full of fruit, full of life. The blackcurrant dances on the palate - fruity, smooth and with a fine mildness that lingers for a long time. For me, a brandy for true connoisseurs - and for all those who love the real thing.

MY FAVORITE PRODUCTI love the Edles Fass Williams because of its wonderful symbiosis of creamy Williams pear and subtle woody notes. It is perfectly balanced between fruit and wood, with a clear, clean fruit on the nose and a long finish. The aroma and taste are wonderfully fresh. My favorite way to enjoy it is with friends and family after a great dinner together or on my own after a long day at work to start the weekend. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to experience a classic product in a new way. Williams brandies are normally drunk either clear or as a spirit with fruit extract. Our cask product really is a highlight. I also think the design is very successful, which is why it makes an excellent gift for fruit brandy fans.

MY FAVORITE PRODUCTThe personal No. 1 of me and my family is the ALTE ZEIT Apricot Brandy. After dinner, everyone is already waiting for me to offer a Scheibel. And despite the large selection and many great products I have at home, the apricot brandy is definitely the unbeaten favorite with everyone in my family. It doesn't need a special occasion, apricot brandy simply always goes well and especially well with an espresso after a meal.

MY FAVORITE PRODUCTOne of my favorite products is Edles Fass Hazelnut. This product has a great aroma, reminiscent of chocolate, and despite the 40% vol. it is wonderfully mild. The hazelnut is perfect for the fall and winter season, as a nice finish to a meal or with a chocolatey dessert. I can also give it as a gift to one or two people in my family as a very special treat.

MY FAVORITE PRODUCTI'm a big fan of PREMIUM Kamin-Kirsch, especially because of the smoky scent that combines so wonderfully with the aromas of the cherry water. Then there are the pleasant woody notes that round off the whole thing perfectly. I like to enjoy it best in the cold season, cozy in front of the fireplace. The Kamin-Kirsch is really something special - an eccentric among brandies. It is unusual and surprising, but that is exactly what makes it so exciting. If you haven't tried it yet, you're really missing out. It is a must for anyone who appreciates the extraordinary.

MY FAVORITE PRODUCTMy favorite products mainly come from the slightly more tart flavors. For many years, the barrel-aged walnut spirit Nussler from the Edles Fass 350 series has been one of my favorites for many years. I really appreciate this intensely nutty product with its diverse tart and "earthy" aromas, especially in the darker months of the year. The Nussler is an unusual digestif after autumnal dishes, e.g. with game or mushrooms. I also like to sprinkle the walnut kernels for my home-baked nut bread with Nussler and leave them to infuse overnight before adding the nuts to the bread dough. My very favorite combination, however, is a sip of Nussler with lukewarm plum cake with walnut crumble. For me, this is one of the best late summer treats.

MY FAVORITE PRODUCTDie leuchtend rote Farbe von unserem LUUY ROUGE fällt sofort ins Auge – ein Versprechen von Frische und Genuss. Besonders begeistert mich das harmonische Zusammenspiel von Säure und Süße, das sich pur am schönsten entfaltet. Gleichzeitig ist er sehr vielseitig, z. B. als eleganter Aperitif im trockenen Sekt oder als sommerlich-leichte Cocktailvariante. Umso mehr freute es mich, dass ich ihn auch in unseren Werbevideos präsentieren durfte. Für mich steht Luuy für unbeschwerte Sommerabende, genussvolle Momente mit Freunden und für diese besondere Leichtigkeit, das Leben mit all seinen Facetten zu genießen – ein Ausdruck von purer Lebensfreude.

MY FAVORITE PRODUCTFor me, our ALTE ZEIT Orange-Brandy is more than just a drink, it is an experience. As a fan of citrus fruits, I find this product irresistible - it is subtle, elegant and refreshing at the same time. For me, this brandy embodies what I would call "liquid summer". It combines sun-kissed oranges, invigorating acidity and pleasant sweetness in perfect harmony. My tip: slightly chilled, the orange brandy lets the sun shine even on cold winter days. As a permanent product in our treasure trove series, I'm counting the days until September 1st arrives and I can enjoy this seasonal product again.

MY FAVORITE PRODUCTOne of my favorites is definitely the Woodka from the Future series. I particularly like the vanilla note created by the barrel ageing, and as I prefer strong distillates, it's just right for me. Despite its 50.5% vol. it is surprisingly mild on the finish, which gives it a very special note. My favorite way to enjoy Woodka is with friends or to round off a day in style. It's perfect for relaxed evenings or special occasions where you want to celebrate the moment. I would recommend Woodka to anyone who likes a special taste experience. It is strong and mild at the same time and its balanced vanilla note, which only comes from the barrel ageing, makes it unique. Anyone who loves distillates with character will appreciate Woodka.

MY FAVORITE PRODUCTMy absolute favorite from the "high-proof range" is our PREMIUMplus Gold-Willi. It tastes really nice and mild, very fruity, simply pure pear. When the rest of the family drinks Mirabell or Kirsch at the end of the day, I always have the Gold-Willi, which is also a visual delight with its golden color. I always recommend Gold-Willi, especially when it's on sale, because in my opinion it's simply a great alternative to the perennial favorites Moor-Birne and Altes Pflümle.

MY FAVORITE PRODUCTMy personal favorite is the LUUY D'OR Premium Aperitif. I find both the name and the recipe of the product very clever. In terms of taste, LUUY offers a successful interplay of fruity and tart flavors, which I particularly like. We like to serve it neat on ice, but it also tastes great with sparkling wine and never fails to delight our friends and acquaintances. Especially at this time of year, I like to enjoy LUUY, true to the motto: summer, sun, LUUY.

MY FAVORITE PRODUCTAs a child, I was born with a love of cherries. In Mösbach, my home town, even small children helped with the cherry harvest. Our ALTE ZEIT Cherry Brandy, fresh and fruity with a hint of almond and spice, is my favorite. In summer, we enjoy it well chilled or on ice while our daughter eats her favorite ice cream. Visually, it is a highlight with its dark red color and attractive bottle. The perfect accompaniment to refreshing desserts or a 'Kirschenplotzer'. CHERRIES - the taste of summer!

My favorite way to enjoy this product is on an evening with friends or family. It creates a cozy atmosphere and goes perfectly with relaxed conversations and shared moments. I would recommend our Feinwerk to anyone who likes an unobtrusive whisky. It is ideal for anyone who is looking for a balanced taste and appreciates the subtle smoky notes combined with fruity accents.

MY FAVORITE PRODUCTThe whisky liqueur EMILL ENGELSWERK is a very special highlight for me. It is a slightly different whisky because it is much milder due to its slight sweetness. The name "angel" makes it seem heavenly. I prefer to enjoy it after a very special meal on a special day or as a 'nightcap' after an exhausting day. It is the perfect companion to bring the evening to a calm and relaxed close. ENGELSWERK is therefore a special treat for me that stands out from other whisky liqueurs - and not just for angels, of course."

MY FAVORITE PRODUCTOne of my favorite Scheibel products, especially in the summertime, is the PREMIUMplus Ginger Royal. It is a refreshing change from the typical fruit brandies and fruit spirits, and I love its interesting and unusual taste. The aroma, taste and slight spiciness of ginger are wonderfully accentuated in our product. The freshness and light citrus note make it the perfect companion for a warm summer evening. I like to enjoy the Ginger Royal well chilled at the end of the day - a real treat in a glass! It's an absolute must for all ginger lovers - you'll simply love it!

MY FAVORITE PRODUCTThe EMILL ZEITWERK is particularly close to my heart. It always fascinates me how it has reached such depth and maturity after "only" 9 years. When I smell the glass, I imagine I'm sitting in a quiet lounge - everything around me fades away and I can concentrate fully on this moment of enjoyment. On the tongue, this whisky is a dream: soft, warm and round, with a gentle yet present note of sweet cherry compote, complemented by a slight smokiness. This is exactly what gives it a uniqueness that makes it my personal favorite. This whisky is perfect at any time of day and for any occasion - whether in a social gathering with friends or in private, as a relaxing end to a long day. For me, the only thing that matters is that the connoisseur is prepared to put everything else aside at that moment and get involved with this special whisky. I recommend it with full conviction to anyone who really appreciates a good whisky and likes to embark on a journey of discovery in a glass.

MY FAVORITE PRODUCTMy favorite at the moment is PREMIUMplus Noble Raspberry. The product tastes fruity like raspberry with a slight acidity and a persistent aroma. You don't need a special occasion to enjoy this product. Noble Raspberry is a great way to round off a meal, but I also enjoy drinking a glass with friends or on the terrace in the evening to round off the evening. A great product, the fresh raspberry has a wonderful aroma and taste.

MY FAVORITE PRODUCTDer Ingwer-Royal begeistert mich mit seiner angenehmen Frische und der feinen Schärfe, die wunderbar belebt. Gut gekühlt entfaltet diese Spirituose für mich ihren ganzen Charakter – modern, überraschend und perfekt für alle, die abseits klassischer Fruchtspirituosen oder bitterer Aperitifs etwas Besonderes entdecken möchten.
Distiller distillery
MY FAVORITE PRODUCTThe products in the Edle Fass 350 series are already my favorites in the range, but the Williams stands out for me. The wonderfully fresh pear aroma is rounded off by the wooden barrel ageing and the result is a perfect harmony of fruity Williams and gentle wood notes. Especially when I walk past the barrels in the cellar at work, I look forward to a delicious glass at the weekend. A cheese evening in our house only begins when a bottle of Edles Fass Williams is on the table, because it goes perfectly with tart, nutty cheeses. I recommend all Williams lovers to try our Premium Williams and Edles Fass Williams side by side. You are guaranteed to recognize the difference blindfolded and perhaps you will be as enthusiastic about it as I am. Cheers!

MY FAVORITE PRODUCTI really like citrus products in general. With the Magma mandarin gives you the feeling of having summer in a glass. It tastes fruity, sweet and sour with a slightly tart note. Magma mandarin is something special that not everyone has in their range. I enjoy this product on many occasions: after a great meal, on vacation at the beach or on a warm summer evening on the terrace. It is simply perfect at any time and in any season - a real all-rounder. I would recommend Magma Mandarin to anyone. If you like citrus products, you've found the perfect product here. And anyone who doesn't like citrus products will change their mind after a sip of Magma Mandarine. It's an explosion of flavor in a glass that makes you want more!

MY FAVORITE PRODUCTI prefer to enjoy the Premium Mirabell with a good snack - it's just perfect. After the meal, I like the Mirabelline - a little fruitier. It's now also a must with my friends - whether at a party, on a cozy evening or when we're sitting around the campfire in autumn.
I even use them in baking - especially when fresh mirabelle plums are available. For cakes, with preserved fruit or simply as a little extra for dessert.
Mirabelle plums were my favorite fruit even as a child - my grandmother often served semolina slices with preserved mirabelle plums. Maybe that's why it still tastes so good to me today. A brandy that is not only a pleasure for me, but also a piece of memory.
Filling / Production
MY FAVORITE PRODUCTI appreciate the LUUY D'OR Premium Aperitif especially because of its refreshing and unusual combination of flavors. It's my first choice when I have visitors - served chilled with ice or as a summer spritzer, it's always a highlight. It's the perfect way to surprise guests as a welcome drink. I also particularly enjoy toasting with our friends from Bavaria via video chat. They love the LUUY just as much as I do and it brings a bit of togetherness to the group. I would recommend the LUUY at any time because it is simply something special. Its versatility and special taste make it a real pleasure to share.

MY FAVORITE PRODUCTMy absolute favorite is the Paradies vineyard peach. The peach flavor comes through wonderfully - not too sweet, but just right. It is incredibly versatile, whether in a punch, with sparkling wine or simply on its own. Whatever the season, it always conjures up a little bit of summer in your glass. My favorite way to enjoy it is in a punch bowl when friends are visiting at the weekend, or in the evening with my husband in sparkling wine. I can highly recommend it, because its versatility and unique taste make it something very special.

MY FAVORITE PRODUCTThe Blackcurrant Rum is exactly to my taste. The blackcurrant really comes into its own and the interplay of sweetness and acidity is simply perfectly balanced. This combination makes it something very special. In addition, the Alte Zeit bottle is a real eye-catcher, which makes it even more unique. I like to enjoy Blackcurrant Rum on special occasions, be it as a unique digestif at a wedding, a birthday or simply after a nice dinner on the terrace. For me, it is the ideal drink for women - elegant, fresh and full of flavor. I can only warmly recommend it; if you don't try it, you are really missing out. The redcurrant is at its best here.

MY FAVORITE PRODUCTThe ALTE ZEIT Wild Raspberry Brandy is a real highlight for me. The distiller has managed to perfectly capture the fresh, intense raspberry and the mysticism of the forest. The result is a fragrant eau de vie in the unmistakable Scheibel bottle. I like to enjoy it as a reward after a busy day or to round off an evening with loved ones after a good meal. If you want to give life special moments, then you should definitely try the Wild Raspberry Brandy. You will not be disappointed!
