Unlike many distilleries, the centuries-old craft of alcohol production is still practiced at Mofongo’s Distillery. What makes Mofongo’s Distillery’s still special is that it is equipped with a meters-high distillation column, allowing virtually pure alcohol to be extracted from the fermenting mass with a single distillation. This benefits the purity for, for example, the production of our homemade gin and liqueurs.
In addition to gin and liqueurs, Mofongo’s Distillery also produces whiskey, a fine product that begins to develop its full flavor after three years of aging in wood. These whiskeys are maturing at various locations throughout the city. Our skilled distillers keep a close watch to ensure the highest quality of this spirit. Furthermore, during his travels, Mr. Mofongo discovered the finest raw rum varieties, which we lovingly cultivate in our climate-controlled storage to develop our own distinctive flavors.
The greatest variety lies in the more than 50 different liqueurs that are produced. In addition to the many well-known liqueurs, special liqueurs have also been developed using rare tropical fruits, nuts, and herbs that Mr. Mofongo found on his many travels. After maturing in infusion jars for weeks, the liqueurs can be found in our unique liqueur cabinet behind the cocktail bar on the first floor.
Robot arm
One of the most remarkable things to be seen in the cafe is a one-armed robot that pours the liqueurs and hands them to the staff behind the bar. Unique in the world, the owner says.
