German & European Whisky

The young generation of European distillers is rewriting whiskey history. In Brandenburg, the Black Forest, and on Lake Schliersee, barrels of rye, barley, and wheat are maturing into whiskies that hold their own in international competitions.

Spreewood Distillers from the Spreewald region distill rye whiskey following the American model, using regional ingredients. Straight Rye, Full Proof, the unusual Rosé Rye Aperitif.

Faude and Lantenhammer – Southern German Whiskey Tradition

Faude feine Brände from the Black Forest and Lantenhammer from Upper Bavaria represent the Southern German approach: rye and wheat from the region, matured in small barrels, imbued with the character of the landscape.
