Where

60 kilometres south of Berlin is the idyllic Spreewald floodplain landscape, which resembles a river delta. The lowlands with their unique microclimate offer the best conditions for the maturation of whisky and rum. Here, in the middle of a biosphere reserve, the Spreewald distillery, founded in 2003 and taken over by the "Spreewood Distillers" in 2016, is located in the picturesque village Schlepzig. The Spreewald Distillery is the oldest whisky distillery in Brandenburg and the first rye whiskey distillery in Germany.

Who

Behind the "Spreewood Distillers" are three people who are not entirely unknown in the spirits industry. There is Steffen Lohr for one thing. The former bartender (including "Der Raum", Melbourne) worked for years as a brand ambassador for Bacardi before he went into business for himself with Bastian Heuser

and Sebastian Brack with the agency "Small Big Brands". Sebastian Brack in turn invented the successful bitter lemonade brand "Thomas Henry" and is co-founder of "Belsazar" Vermouth. Third in the group is Bastian Heuser - also a former bartender and one of the co-founders of the "Bar Convent Berlin", the leading European trade fair for the bar and beverage industry.


What

With the takeover of the distillery in autumn 2016, the three fulfilled their long-cherished dream of having their own spirits manufacture. The Spreewood Distillers produce not only the award-winning STORK CLUB whisky but also Humboldt Gin, as well as a small selection of liqueurs and spirits.
