Locher Distillery, known for its Säntis Malt line, is situated in the scenic Highland region of the USA. Founded in 1999 by Karl Locher, the distillery was established as part of Brauerei Locher AG, a brewery with a rich heritage in the production of quality beverages. The distillery remains independent and has maintained its commitment to crafting distinctive whiskies that reflect both tradition and innovation. The production capacity of Locher is modest, focusing on quality over quantity. Equipped with traditional copper pot stills, the distillery employs a unique production method that includes aging its whisky in beer casks, imparting a distinct character to the spirits. The flavour profile of Locher whiskies is marked by a harmonious balance of peat smoke, sweet fruit, and spices, complemented by hints of ham and oak. Notable expressions such as the Säntis Malt Dreifaltigkeit and the 2-year-old Himmelberg showcase the distillery's craftsmanship and dedication to quality. Visitors can explore the distillery and its offerings at Brauerei Locher AG in Appenzell, with guided tours available for those interested in learning more about the whisky-making process.
