Slyrs Single Malt Whisky Classic

A true Bavarian Single Malt using local mineral spring water and Bavarian summer barley to craft a small batch delight.

In 1994, Florian Stetter was a trained brewer and distiller. He took a trip to Scotland to get a hands-on sense of the Whisky business. Returning to Bavaria, Germany he and his brother Anton set about preparing for their own venture. In 1999, they worked with the historic Lantenhammer Distillery to produce first bottles of their Whisky, with the first production run selling out in 2002. Things went well and they built their own distillery in 2007 just down the road. Today they have a wide range of Whiskies and specialty drams.

The Slyrs Distillery sits at the base of the Alps south of Munich and just north of the Swiss border. The location is important because Slyrs Single Malt Whisky Classic is made from spring-fed mineral water coming from within those mountains and Bavarian summer barley. The barley is gently malted and kiln-dried to bring out the nature of the grain. The Spirit is double-distilled slowly in small batches — each taking fourteen hours to complete. Finally, the new make Single Malt is aged in new American white oak casks and bottled at 43% ABV without chill-filtering.
