Press Release: Pistachio Cream Liqueur with Cult Status: "Terence Hill – The Hero – A Tiny Pistachio"

St. Kilian Distillers continues successful pistachio cream liqueur under new name

Rüdenau, April 2025
The award-winning German whisky distillery St. Kilian Distillers is expanding its successful liqueur series with a new specialty in cooperation with Terence Hill's management: "Terence Hill – The Hero – A tiny pistachio". The creamy pistachio cream liqueur continues the popular special bottling "Johnny Firpo – Homemade – A tiny pistachio" under a new name and will now be a permanent part of St. Kilian's premium liqueurs.

Creamy pistachio indulgence with Single Malt Spirit

The "Terence Hill – The Hero – A tiny pistachio" impresses with its full-bodied, creamy taste, which results from the perfect combination of finest cream and intense pistachio aroma. Refined with the mild St. Kilian Single Malt Spirit, this premium liqueur offers a unique taste experience that delights both pure and on ice or as a refined ingredient in cocktails and desserts. With an alcohol content of 20% vol, it is an exquisite specialty for connoisseurs.

Homage to an unforgettable film scene

The inspiration for this liqueur comes from a legendary scene from the cult comedy "Watch Out, We're Mad!", in which Terence Hill, alias Johnny Firpo, drives his brother Charlie (Bud Spencer) to despair with the persistent request for a tiny dab of pistachio ice cream. With this new cream liqueur, St. Kilian Distillers is expanding its successful international product line around the popular actor Terence Hill – and thus fulfilling the wish of many liqueur and Terence Hill fans.

Expansion of the Terence Hill Liqueur Series

With the renaming of the pistachio cream liqueur "Johnny Firpo – Homemade – A tiny pistachio" to "Terence Hill – The Hero – A tiny pistachio", St. Kilian Distillers is adding another exclusive specialty to the renowned Terence Hill series. The new liqueur perfectly complements the existing assortment, which already includes the mild and smoky bottlings "Terence Hill – The Hero – Whisky" and the successful hazelnut liqueur "Terence Hill – The Hero – Voll auf die Nuss".

Sales launch and availability

From April 4, 2025, the pistachio cream liqueur "Terence Hill – The Hero – A tiny pistachio" will be available both online and in the shop of the St. Kilian visitor distillery in Rüdenau. The recommended retail price for the 0.7-liter bottle is € 29.90.

Product details

The "Terence Hill – The Hero – A tiny pistachio" is based on the mild St. Kilian Single Malt Spirit, which is double distilled from the best barley malt in traditional copper pot stills. Infused with natural pistachio aromas and finest cream, a full-bodied and creamy liqueur is created, which is bottled in the iconic 0.7-liter bottle – the perfect design that also adorns the other popular Bud Spencer and Terence Hill whiskies and liqueurs. With 20% vol alcohol content, this premium liqueur is both a treat for connoisseurs and an absolute highlight for all Terence Hill fans.
