Säntis Malt (Locher)

Swiss Alpine Whisky, Beer Cask Heritage

The Locher family has been brewing beer in Appenzell since 1886. When they began distilling whisky, using their own beer casks for maturation was a natural choice. The result is a uniquely Swiss expression — alpine freshness meets hop-tinged sweetness.
