The result was a sweet, fig-flavored vodka that quickly gained popularity in Germany and beyond.

Production[edit | edit source]

The production of Kleiner Feigling involves the distillation of vodka and the infusion of natural fig flavors. The vodka is distilled multiple times to ensure its purity and smoothness.
