What can you expect at the whisky masterclass?
During an exclusive masterclass with our Head Sommelier, Christian Leuteritz, you will get to know the world of Störtebeker whisky in a very special way. Experience almost a quarter of a century of concentrated experience, passion and lived whisky knowledge - conveyed personally, authentically and captivatingly.
In the unique atmosphere of our warehouse, surrounded by maturing casks and the scent of fine woods, a 90-minute journey of pleasure for all the senses awaits you. This masterclass is more than just a tasting - it is a look behind the scenes, an encounter with our philosophy and a tribute to genuine regional craftsmanship.
Look forward to six expressive whisky samples - from the heart of our range to exclusive cask strengths. Each sample tells its own story: from the selection of raw materials to the art of cask maturation and the perfect marriage in the vatting.
Find out,
- why fresh German casks - especially from Mecklenburg sessile oak - give our whiskies a distinctive character,
- how maturation in dessert wine casks creates complex aromas,
- the decisive role that vatting plays in balance, depth and style.
This masterclass is aimed at connoisseurs, explorers and anyone who not only wants to drink whisky, but really wants to understand it.
