Preparation Every home cook is familiar with this problem: fresh herbs are a wonderful ingredient, but their tastes tend to be extremely fleeting. Georg Hiebl has found a solution; he fills several 50 liter stainless steel vats with wheat distillate and takes them directly onto the field, where he cuts the herbs and immediately adds them into the alcohol. Because Hiebl macerates the fresh herbs on the field, he is able to perfectly extract their fragrance. This way he ensures that none of their vital aromas are lost. After harvest Hiebl transports the vats back to his distillery where he distills them into a spirit that has an incomparably, intense aroma and that perfectly recalls each respective herb's taste.
