FAQ

WHAT IS MOOSE? 

MOOSE is a botanical spirit distilled in the Austrian Alps. MOOSE blends the botanicals mint, mountain pine and gentian with chilli and maple syrup, creating a spirit that is as complex as it is original. You will not find any processed sugars in MOOSE - just good old maple syrup, tapped from maple trees in Quebec, giving our liquid a mellow sweetness that is all natural.

HOW IS MOOSE MADE?

MOOSE is made at Freihof Distillery in the Vorarlberg, Austria. We distil fine neutral grain spirit and then add a blend of alpine herbs and other botanicals and distillates. We then filter MOOSE to ensure only the highest standards. MOOSE is handcrafted, everything is sourced and made in Austria, apart from our bottles that come from Germany and our maple syrup that is made in Quebec.

WHY IS MOOSE CALLED MOOSE?

We take our inspiration from the mighty moose. As King of the Forest, the moose survives on instinct and doesn’t follow the pack. We’ve created our spirit based upon our instincts (that tell us us people want a natural, healthier spirit that tastes incredible all year round.) We have moved away from the pack, creating a completely distinct, natural spirit that does not contain any processed sugars. Finally, we are actively working to save the snow by planting ‘MOOSE forests’ – we plant 10 trees for every bottle of MOOSE that we sell.

IS MOOSE ANYTHING TO DO WITH MOOSERWIRT, THE APRES-SKI BAR?

No MOOSE is nothing to do with Mooserwirt. That said MOOSE loves Mooserwirt and has a lot of fun there. If there was a bar where MOOSE would most like to hang out, the Mooserwirt would be up there with the best of them.

HOW MUCH IS SHIPPING?

Where we can, we try to cover shipping for you. But if you are very far away there may be a small charge. Sorry for that – the Moose often needs feeding on the way to far flung locations!
