In a world increasingly driven by speed and mass production, the art of craftsmanship holds a timeless appeal. This ethos is at the heart of Tim Müller’s journey—a path marked by a commitment to quality and a deep-seated passion for creating meaningful, lasting products.

Tim Müller’s career began conventionally, with a background in Marketing and Business Administration. However, his creative instincts soon drew him away from the corporate world and into the realm of photography. What started as a hobby quickly evolved into a full-fledged career, earning Tim recognition as one of the top 200 commercial photographers worldwide. His work was distinguished by a meticulous attention to detail and a unique ability to capture the beauty in everyday moments.

But as his success in photography grew, so did his curiosity about other forms of craftsmanship. Drawn to the vineyards of Cape Town, Tim immersed himself in the study of winemaking at the Cape Wine Academy. This new passion led to the co-founding of Deutsche Spirituosen Manufaktur (DSM) in Berlin, a small-batch distillery that reflects Tim’s love for precision and purity. DSM produces high-quality spirits, each bottle a testament to Tim’s dedication to the craft and his belief in the importance of the entire process—from the selection of ingredients to the final distillation.

The aesthetic of DSM is as carefully considered as the spirits themselves. With clean lines and minimalist design, the packaging respects the product inside, allowing it to take center stage. This approach is not about following trends, but about creating something enduring—much like the spirits DSM produces.

Tim Müller’s ventures, whether in photography or distillation, are united by a common thread: a commitment to craftsmanship and a belief in the beauty of taking the time to create something truly meaningful. His story is a refreshing reminder that success is not just about rapid growth or mass appeal, but about the satisfaction that comes from doing things well.

To celebrate this dedication to quality, we invite you to join us at Senses & Spirits: A Night of Taste, Sound, and Craft, an exclusive event happening later this year. The evening will feature a tasting of DSM’s finest spirits, paired with a specially curated dinner menu, and accompanied by a live piano concert—an experience designed to engage all the senses and honor the art of craftsmanship.
