Rumple Minze - Peppermint Schnapps is distilled from sugarcane molasses or fresh cane juice, depending on the estate’s traditions. Fermentation times vary but are managed to strike a balance between robust flavor and clean spirit.

Distillation may be carried out in copper pot stills, column stills, or a combination, each choice influencing texture and strength. Aging in oak barrels adds further depth, with tropical climates accelerating the interaction between rum and cask.

Blending is conducted with precision to ensure consistency, with bottling done carefully to retain clarity and stability.

Rumple Minze

Rumple Minze is a brand of German-style liqueur, best known for its potent peppermint schnapps. The brand is owned by the spirits giant Diageo and, despite its Germanic appearance and name, it is largely unknown in its purported country of origin. Its primary market is the United States, where it has cultivated a strong following.

The brand's identity is built around a few key characteristics. First is its flavor, which is intensely minty, often described as tasting like a "candy cane in a glass." Second is its high alcohol content, bottled at a strong 100 proof (50% alcohol by volume), which is significantly higher than most other schnapps. This combination of a refreshing, sweet flavor with a powerful kick has made it a popular choice for shots and as a component in various cocktails.

The bottle's logo, featuring a double-headed golden eagle, and its name, a portmanteau of a German-sounding word and "mint," all contribute to its German-style mystique. However, the brand was a creation of the 1980s, designed to capitalize on the schnapps trend in the United States. Its success has led to the release of other flavors, including berry and lime, but the peppermint expression remains its flagship.
