This is us.

Spirits Lab Bavaria is the “Home of Madness”. The passion project of Markus Oswald (founder of Bassa Baviera) and Fabian Klohs (founder of Monk Distillery).

With the three brands BASSA BAVIERA, CIELO Aperitivo and MONK Distillery, the constantly growing brand portfolio now includes over 15 products.

From Amaro and Gin to Mezcal (“Mexcal”), Ouzo (“Duzo”), Rum (“Ruam”) and Vermouth, Spirits Lab Bavaria offers an extensive range of handcrafted spirits from Bavaria.

The Spirits Lab Bavaria sees itself as a creative workshop in which we not only produce our well-known portfolio, but also want to constantly develop ourselves and the world of spirits.


The focus is on production for our own brands and the development of products for the hotel, catering and corporate sectors. But the “laboratory” embedded in the company name should also be taken into account.

Here we tinker, distill, macerate and taste. With lots of taste, handwork and a tendency towards madness.

The idea is not to reinvent the wheel, but to give it more profile.
