Märkische Spezialitätenbrennerei is a specialty distillery based in Hagen, Germany, founded in 2010. Located in the Märkisches Sauerland region of North Rhine-Westphalia, the distillery has established itself as a craft producer with a focus on small-batch spirits and regional character. Though relatively young compared to many established distilleries, it has built a reputation for quality and innovation within the German craft spirits scene. The distillery is perhaps best known for its DeCavo Single Malt, a distinctive whisky matured in cave conditions — earning it the nickname "cave whisky." This unique approach to maturation sets DeCavo apart from more conventional single malts, as the stable temperature and humidity of a cave environment can influence the aging process in interesting ways. Beyond whisky, Märkische Spezialitätenbrennerei also produces a range of liqueurs in a variety of flavours, reflecting a broader portfolio of handcrafted spirits. The distillery has showcased its products at ProWein, one of the world's leading trade fairs for wine and spirits, demonstrating its ambition to reach a wider international audience. With its cave-matured single malt and diverse liqueur lineup, Märkische Spezialitätenbrennerei represents the creativity and growing confidence of the German craft distilling movement.
