Since 1999, the Slyrs distillery has been producing the first and only Upper Bavarian single malt whisky that is produced using the classic rough and fine distillation process. The name "Slyrs" is a pseudo-Gaelic variation of "Schliersee", the distillery's home town, and reflects the regional ties and traditional craftsmanship that are expressed in every drop of this whisky.
The name of the Slyrs Fifty One single malt whisky refers to the striking 51% vol. that gives this whisky its characterful expression. Maturation begins in new American white oak casks with a volume of 225 liters. In addition, barrels in which sherry, port wine or Sauternes were previously stored are used for the Fifty One to give the whisky a special depth and complexity.
After maturing in the Upper Bavarian mountain climate, the cask strength is adjusted to drinking strength with pure mountain spring water. The Slyrs Fifty One is neither colored nor cold-filtered, which preserves its natural purity and authenticity.
