[MM-MALTS-L] Slyrs

[Horst Luening]

Completely agreed.

How will the new Slyrs taste versus the old one? If you look at the Woodford
Reserve, which was formerly produced in the column stills of Early Times and
now comes from Pot Stills comparable to the ones of Auchentoshan, then you
can imagine, how delicate this problem is.

The former Slyrs still was an eau de vie still with an added rectifier with
app 5 to 7 plates. The new stills will add a lot more of tasty, oily
components.

There are a few other 'interesting' additions. A very long fermentation
period up to a week. A low ABV of the beer in comparison to Scotland, no
Sour Mash or double yeast (brewer, baker) speed up of the fermentation but
an addition of cleaned air to the wort to power up the yeast.

There are also cooled fermentation tanks. They look like the ones I saw at
Madeira. But there they were used for heating the Madeira up. At Slyrs they
use it for cooling the wash down. It can be pretty hot in the Alps (in
summer).

And there is a lot more. The lauter tun and the use of hot water is
completely different to Scotland. The use just one water and heat it twice
up during the mashing period. Ok, the resting times are there also. But you
need it for the enzymes to start its work.

Lots of questions and no answers so far ...

We have to wait a few years to see the new spirit develop.

Regards,
Horst

Thanks for clearing that up Horst! So that brings us, once again, to the
issue of what constitutes 'a distillery'. Are the previous Slyrs bottlings
and those that will contain the whisky from these new stills to be regarded
as coming from the same distillery? If we consider Glenburgie and Glencraig
to be different distilleries, then certainly Slyrs-from-Lantenhammer and
Slyrs-from-Slyrs come from different distilleries. Right?

Hi Lex,

the former Slyrs came from an eau de vie still, which was and is still used
for the production of the famous Lantenhammer fruit spirits. Slyrs is owned
by the company Lantenhammer.

Hi Horst

If Slyrs went into production two weeks ago, then where does the whisky come
from in the bottle of Slyrs I had a few years ago? Or are there two Slyrs
distilleries now?

Hi,

the Bavarian Malt Whisky distillery Slyrs went into production two weeks
ago.

Here are the first pictures. Please click on the buttons below the German
