Weyermann® Distillery continues its success story at Falstaff Spirits Special 2024
Our Weyermann® distillery has achieved an impressive premiere success at the renowned Falstaff Spirits Special 2024. With seven entries and just as many award-winning products, we underline our outstanding position in the world of spirits.
Front runner: Nougat cream liqueur
Our Nougat Cream Liqueur, which is refined with fine Weyermann® Whisky, achieved the highest score of 94 points among our entered products. The jury praised the successful balance between creamy sweetness and fine nougat flavors.
Whisky expertise at the highest level
Two of our whisky creations were awarded 93 points each:
The Weyermann® Single Malt Whisky Triple Cask Edition impressed with its complexity resulting from maturation in three different types of cask. A strong, spicy profile unfolds on the palate with a beautiful malty sweetness, fine notes of oak, vanilla and toffee.
The Weyermann® Single Malt Whisky No. 5 impresses with its exquisite aroma profile, which highlights the craftsmanship of our distillery. It is malty, slightly smoky and subtly fruity, with a fine honey sweetness, vanilla and delicate oak on the nose.
Variety in the portfolio
Our other spirits also impressed the jury:
Weyermann® Magenbitter: 92 points
Weyermann® Double Cask Single Malt Whisky: 91 points
Weyermann® Apfelbrand – aged in acacia barrels: 90 points
Weyermann® Blutorangenbrand: 88 points
Weyermann® Master Distiller Philipp Schwarz, who is responsible for these creations together with Weyermann® Distiller Laurenz Schorner, is delighted to receive the awards:
“The recognition at this year’s Falstaff Spirits Special confirms our philosophy of combining the highest quality and innovative strength. I am particularly proud of the diversity of our award-winning products, which range from traditional fruit brandies to complex whiskys. It is also a special honor as this is the first time our work has been submitted to Falstaff and it is bearing wonderful fruit.”
These awards fit in seamlessly with our recent successes. Our Triple Cask Single Malt Whisky was recently awarded gold at the Women’s International Trophy, and both our Triple Cask Edition Single Malt Whisky and our Blood Orange Brandy received gold awards at the DLG 2024 test.
We invite you to discover our award-winning spirits for yourself. All award-winning products are available in our Weyermann® online store and in the “Weyermann Living & Drinking” store at Brennerstraße 15 in Bamberg.
Congratulations to Philipp Schwarz, Weyermann® Master Distiller together with Weyermann® Distiller Laurenz Schorner on these well-deserved awards! Well done!
