Pittermanns Distillery, located in Cologne, Germany, was founded in 2016 by Peter Esser. Despite its relatively recent establishment, Pittermanns has quickly gained recognition in the whisky community for its innovative approaches to distillation and maturation. The distillery remains independently owned, allowing for a unique expression of craftsmanship and creativity in its whisky production. With a focus on both rye and single malt whiskies, Pittermanns utilizes a combination of traditional and modern distillation techniques. The distillery has a production capacity that supports small-batch releases, ensuring quality and attention to detail. Characterized by a fruity aroma with notes of sherry and tropical fruit, Pittermanns whiskies present a palate of oak and citrus, leading to a finish that balances fruit and oak seamlessly. Notable expressions include the 2019 Triple Oak Rye and the 2018 Unchained, both showcasing the distillery's commitment to flavor complexity and richness.
