Säntis Malt is a pioneering Swiss whisky produced at the Brauerei Locher, a historic brewery nestled in Appenzell, in the heart of the Swiss Alps. The brewery's roots stretch back to the 1800s, and it was here that Säntis Malt made history by becoming the first Swiss whisky ever legally produced, beginning distillation in 1999. This milestone placed Switzerland firmly on the global whisky map, introducing a new chapter in the country's rich distilling heritage. What truly sets Säntis Malt apart is its deep connection to the brewery's centuries-old brewing tradition. The whisky is matured in signature beer casks, and it is the malt extract from this process that gives Säntis Malt its uniquely distinctive flavour — ancient memories of beer woven into every dram. The distillery uses locally grown barley, reinforcing its commitment to regional craftsmanship. Notable expressions include the Edition Himmelberg, which combines whisky matured in beer casks with liquid aged in additional cask types, as well as the Schloss Whisky range. Each release reflects the Alpine surroundings and the innovative spirit of Swiss whisky-making.
