German whisky

[2] The mash for this whisky is produced in the Rothaus State Brewery of Baden in the heart of the Black Forest.

The whisky is distilled twice and stored mainly in bourbon casks with some finishing for special bottlings.

The main batches are released yearly on 16 March – the birthday of the Rothaus master brewer, Max Sachs.

In 1980 Robert Fleischmann founded the Blaue Maus Distillery (blue mouse) to produce brandy wine on the site of a grocery and tobacco shop that was owned by his family.

After many attempts at perfecting the art he sold his first whisky in 1996 and four years later his son Thomas and wife Petra took over the operations.

The special climate of this unique natural landscape produces exceptional qualities in the home grown grain of the finch® Whiskydistillery.

In 2001 he started turning out small batches of whisky using a recipe consisting of corn, wheat and rye.

The whiskies produced have been in the style of Irish, Scotch single malt, rye and bourbon.

[5] In 2013 the 14-year-old Glen Slitisa Single Malt Wheat Whisky was awarded third place at the trade fair InterWhisky in Frankfurt.

This whisky is aged for three years in new, unused American white oak barrels with a 50-gallon capacity.
