Sauerländer Edelbrennerei is a German craft distillery located in Rüthen-Kallenhardt, in the Sauerland region of North Rhine-Westphalia. Known for its artisanal approach to spirits production, the distillery has built a reputation beyond its home country through its dedication to quality single malt expressions and independent bottlings. The distillery also produces liqueurs, including herb-based varieties that reflect its regional roots. The distillery is perhaps best known for its McRaven Thousand Mountains Single Malt Whisky, which first appeared in 2015 and quickly gained a following among whisky enthusiasts. In addition to its own distillate, Sauerländer Edelbrennerei is active in the independent bottling scene, releasing expressions such as the Cask Alive! Single Malt Scotch series and the "Bottle Your Own" concept presented at events like Hanse Spirit 2024 in Hamburg. These releases demonstrate the distillery's broad engagement with the wider whisky world. Sauerländer Edelbrennerei regularly exhibits at German whisky fairs, including Just Whisky Hamburg and The Village Whisky Messe in Nuremberg, where its McRaven single malt bottlings continue to attract a growing fanbase.
