Langatun is the Celtic word for Langethal, a small town in Switzerland, where this brand comes from. The name is a tribute to the first settlers and distillers from the region, whose traditions were used, carried on and made better in the brand’s history. Jakob Baumberger, together with his brothers, founded Langatun in 1857 on his father’s farm and took over the Mumenthaler-Marti distillery in 1863. When he finally purchased a spring in 1877, he also had soft, pure water, perfect for distilling. Langatun mostly produces whiskey and are selling their products internationally since 2017. The production of Langatun products is top secret to this day and only a few people know the key to producing delicious Langatun whiskey. Langatun now also produces other spirits, with their 1616 Gin being the first product in the line.
