The Walcher family have a wealth of experience in distillation spanning nine generations. Their ancestral home, the Turmbachhof, dates back to the 12^th century and is located in the small hamlet of Turmbach. It is currently run by the nineth generation of the Walcher family. Combining family traditions with contemporary ideas has not always been easy but they have managed to successfully bridge the gap. Today, using innovative distillation technology, they distil alcoholic beverages, eaux-de-vie and high-proof alcohol just like they used to with the water-bath distillation process.
