About the Distillery

Fernweh Distilling Co. is located in the small town of Hermann in Missouri and produces grain-based spirits with a particular emphasis on rye and bourbon styles. The website highlights a French Oak Finished Straight Bourbon and a Straight Rye, and the distillery's navigation also shows other products and an event venue called The Loft. Address, email, and phone number are publicly listed, making it easy to contact the producer directly.

Raw Materials and Production

The production uses wheat, rye and bourbon mash.

Maturation and Barrel Types

One of the notable product details is a bourbon labeled French Oak Finished. The designation documents that the bottle receives a finish in French oak barrels after primary aging. Besides this specific finish, no fixed aging times or other barrel types are mentioned on the website.

Whiskeys

The range, as presented online, centers on American grain whiskeys. Two names stand out most: a Straight Rye Whiskey and a French Oak Finished Straight Bourbon Whiskey. The site also shows that Fernweh works with other spirit products, for example vodka, and that the venue houses an event space called The Loft. Taken together, it presents the image of a small, local distillery focusing on rye, bourbon, and other grain-based spirits.
