60 kilometers from Berlin, right in the middle of Germany’s granary, Brandenburg, lies the SpreeWood Distillery. The fields around the distillery supply the rye for the distillery – in fact, Brandenburg is Europe’s largest rye-producing area and even American distillers buy grain from here for their rye whiskeys! Stork Club Straight Rye Whiskey is the first rye whiskey to be made in the country. This Straight Rye Whiskey is produced using 100% rye, slowly distilled in a small 100-litre “hybrid still” and matured in a combination of first-fill American oak and German Napoleon oak. A full-bodied, spiced rye whiskey with chocolate spread and peppery oak, a touch of berry fruit and rye bread on the nose. The palate offers butterscotch and ginger spice, with rich mocha bringing toasty warmth. Fantastically warming and flavourful but not overpowering. Spice as flavour, rather than heat.
