SLYRS once again at the top of the German whisky world

The jury of independent experts and authors from the magazine selected five distilleries in advance that had distinguished themselves in 2025 through special achievements. The final vote also included the votes of readers and the community. The winners were announced at the 25th InterWhisky in Wiesbaden.

For SLYRS, this honor is much more than just a title. It reaffirms the pioneering role that the distillery has played in shaping the path for German whisky for over two decades. Craftsmanship, regional roots, an eye for innovation, and the commitment to setting quality standards have characterized the path from Schliersee since its founding.

Steffen Brandt, Co-Managing Director of Sales and Marketing: "The award highlights what SLYRS stands for. It is a credit to our entire team, because every single one of them has contributed to this achievement and each of them deserves our thanks. It is only through the commitment of everyone that such an award can be won. We combine heritage, craftsmanship, and innovation to create a product that shapes the German whisky landscape, and this award confirms that we are on the right track."

Hans Kemenater, co-managing director and master distiller, adds: "This award is a special recognition of everything we have stood for at Schliersee for years. We want to produce whisky that speaks for itself – crafted with precision, with a consistent focus on sustainability and an experience that can be felt first-hand at our distillery."

With the title of Best Whisky Distillery National, SLYRS is making another mark and underlining that outstanding whisky comes from Bavaria and can hold its own in international comparison
