We are a Swiss-Peruvian couple who, after an intensive search for exclusive Peruvian products, founded Naegelis Premium Products in 2023 — a company dedicated exclusively to importing Peruvian spirits into Switzerland. At the Whisky & Music Festival Zürich, we're excited to present the first Andean whiskey from Peru, made from purple corn. Even in pre-Columbian times, the Incas used purple corn to make fermented chicha de jora, a sacred drink for religious ceremonies and important celebrations. Our products are exclusive and handcrafted, and every bottling tells its own story — a story of origin, tradition and the cultural value behind every single bottle.

The name Ondjaba comes from the Oshiwambo language and means "elephant". For our editions we use various grains such as corn, barley, wheat, rye and mahangu (pearl millet), smoked over elephant dung. The whiskey then matures under the Namibian sun in a range of casks — including our own former wine and fortified-wine casks, bourbon casks and new oak casks. Our goal is a world-class whiskey with an unmistakably Namibian character — not a copy of Scotch or Irish whisky, but a distinct taste experience of its own. Maturing at over 1,200 metres altitude with strong temperature swings shapes its special character even further.

Take the time – time for yourself and your precious life. Time for and with the people who matter to you, with whom you want to share special moments. Take the time to explore and savour the soul of these fine whiskies. Close your eyes as the result of years of reflection meets your senses, and the magic of memories with these special people is expressed once more.

After the ban on distilling spirits from grain was lifted in 1999, Appenzell brewmaster Karl Locher, known for his creative beers, began producing Säntis Malt in historic oak beer casks using spring water from the Alpstein massif.
