Slyrs is a renowned whisky distillery situated in Schliersee, a picturesque town in the Bavarian Oberland. It holds the distinction of being the largest single malt manufacturer in Germany. The distillery was founded in 1999 by Florian Stetter, a trained brewer and maltster. The idea of creating a Bavarian whisky came to Stetter in 1994 during a study trip to Scotland, where he was inspired by the parallels between the Bavarian and Scottish landscapes and the characteristics of the locals.
In 2006, the Slyrs Whisky Distillery was established in Neuhaus am Schliersee. Since then, the entire production process, from distillation to bottling, has been carried out in-house. This allows the distillery to maintain strict control over the quality of its products, ensuring that every bottle of Slyrs whisky meets the highest standards of taste and craftsmanship.
In 2016, the distillery underwent a significant expansion, adding an additional barrel hall, a shop, a visitor center, and the Slyrs Caffee & Lunchery, which serves breakfast and lunch and can be booked for celebrations and events. Visitors to the distillery can also take advantage of self-guided tours, guided tours, and tastings, providing an immersive experience into the world of whisky production.
