About Mozart Distillerie

From Salzburg to the world: from 1954 to the Mozart brand

The Mozart Distillerie is based in Salzburg, the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It was founded in 1954 as a family business. The chocolate liqueur that gives the house its reputation today was created in 1979 and went into export in 1981.

Since 2016, the distillery has been 100% owned by the Schlumberger wine and sparkling wine cellar. Bottling still takes place in Salzburg. In 2020, the IWSC named the house Liqueur Producer of the Year.

Sugar beet distillate, cocoa, and Belgian chocolate

The liqueur base is chocolate. For this, the distillery processes cocoa, local sugar beets, and bourbon vanilla. According to importers, the cocoa comes from West Africa. Depending on the variety, conched premium Belgian chocolate, cream from the Netherlands, and caramel are added. The chocolate provides the full cocoa aroma and the dense, melting texture.

In-house distillers and master confectioners are responsible for the recipes, headed by a master distiller and chocolatier. The house deliberately designed the bottle: round, wrapped in foil, like an oversized praline. The foil looks slightly different from bottle to bottle.

Cream, White, Dark, Coffee: the range in the glass

The Mozart Chocolate Cream is a milk chocolate liqueur with 17% vol. It is deep brown, very creamy, and smells of vanilla and cocoa. In the mouth, Belgian chocolate is in the foreground, the finish is soft and sweet. White (15% vol.) focuses on vanilla, caramel, cream, and white chocolate. Dark (17% vol.) brings bitter chocolate, vanilla, caramel, and smoky-tart cocoa notes. It is made without cream. Coffee (17% vol.) combines roasted coffee notes with Belgian chocolate, vanilla, and the fruity aroma of red orange.

You can drink the liqueurs neat or on ice. The house itself also recommends its Choctails. One example is the Espresso Martini: 4 cl Mozart Cream, 3.5 cl cold espresso, and 2.5 cl vodka, plus grated coffee bean.

Mozart Distillerie –
Salzburg craftsmanship in liquid chocolate

Mozart Distillerie from Salzburg has specialized since 1954 in a discipline that few master: translating chocolate into liqueur form without losing depth or character. The basis is cocoa distillates from Forastero and Trinitario beans – two varieties known for their aromatic complexity. Added to this are Belgian chocolate, natural vanilla, and velvety cream, in varying balances depending on the variant.

What distinguishes Mozart's production from other liqueur manufacturers is the so-called sound-milling method: the liqueurs mature in stainless steel tanks while being exposed to music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart around the clock – the brand's namesake and the city's most famous son. Whether this influences the texture is difficult to measure; that the liqueurs have an unusual creaminess is palpable in the glass. In 2020, the IWSC named Mozart Liqueur Producer of the Year.

The range extends from the Milk Chocolate Cream with a soft cocoa note to the Dark Chocolate with smoky-tart depth and the Coffee with an intense roasted note. Neat over ice, as an ingredient in a dessert cocktail, or to finish a meal – Mozart's liqueurs work in various contexts without being intrusive.
