Freimeister Kollektiv, OBW Aperitif Liqueur, NV

Spirit from Germany

Freimeister Kollektiv channels contemporary Berlin craft spirit culture into this OBW Aperitif Liqueur—a distinctive herbal expression challenging traditional aperitif categories. OBW stands for Orange, Bitters, Wein: an orange-and-bitters aperitif built on organic red wine, blending botanicals with restrained sweetness and moderate ABV, designed for aperitif sipping or cocktail application and exploration. The Berlin-based collective approach to production—collaborative, experimental, committed to quality—shapes every bottling released. This particular expression balances herbaceous complexity against subtle sweetness, creating a spirit that works equally well served chilled as an aperitif, in vintage cocktails calling for herbal character, or as a digestif. The modest proof preserves botanical nuance without alcohol burn, while modest sweetness never crosses into syrup territory.

More about Freimeister Kollektiv

Freimeisterkollektiv puts the maker's name on the bottle. Theo Ligthart founded the collective in Berlin in 2016 as a network of small European craft distillers, winemakers and bartenders. The Berlin team handles product development, packaging and distribution so the makers can concentrate on making. Every label says where the spirit comes from, what's in it and who produced it, and every product carries a number in the range.

The rules are strict: no artificial flavours, no flavour extracts, and no added sugar unless the category requires it. The range runs from gin and juniper spirits to vermouth and bitters. OBW 969 is a good example, an orange-and-bitters aperitif built on organic red wine from near Toledo and devised by Franck Audoux of the Paris bar Cravan. Echt Stonsdorfer 031 is another, a blueberry-and-herb bitter in the old Silesian style.
