Wolfram Ortner's new "drugs": Breath-taking fragrance and design
A special new addition has now joined the product spectrum: a "drugs range". To avoid any misunderstanding, it should be noted that this refers to the original meaning of the word: the drying of healing plants which have been processed to make them long-lasting and useful. These plants form the aromatic basis of the "big 4" from WOB: high-quality herbs and spices are produced according to traditional maceration and distillation processes, based on the natural instincts of the master distiller.
Staying true to the simple yet convincing philosophy "We only use the very best!", the attractive bottles in Ortner's "authentic design" convey a sense of pure lifestyle and life culture.

'The big 4' in a gift box: (WOB London Dry Gin, WOB Absinthe, WOB Anis and WOB Red Bitter.
In his “high-spirited” modern-day witch’s kitchen, Wolfram Ortner set out on a quest to create – by distillation and maceration – a particularly flavourful half bitter.
After many hours of painstaking attention to detail, using only selected herbs and spices, he finally succeeded in discovering – not the philosopher’s stone but his new ELIXIR DÖ WOB.
An explosion of scent and taste combining fresh top notes, an aromatic heart and mellow, warm base notes.
The bouquet ranges from cinnamon and cloves in the heart to peppermint, oranges and lemons in the top.
WOB Elixir - Ell.ix (Ell:ix): A substance inspired by alchemists, although instead of trying to make gold, herbs and medicinal plants are distilled and macerated. The result is a true delight for connoisseurs: a fascinating blend of freshness and fire. United in a half bitter, citrus and peppermint form a harmonious balance with cinnamon and cloves.
