History

Origin and Family

Destille Kaltenthaler – Handcrafted Spirits from Rheinhessen is a family-owned distillery in Rheinhessen, Germany. According to the site, the distillery is run by three generations of the same family and focuses on regional quality, tradition, and innovation as an experience. The production name and the website text highlight Westhofen as the base and capture a long tradition of craftsmanship in the region.

Production and Approach

The production philosophy emphasizes craftsmanship and regional quality. The site describes that they stay true to tradition while also creating innovation, which is reflected in several product categories such as gin, rum, and whisky. Westhofen-based products highlight a slow and gentle distillation process and traditional aging in wooden casks to achieve mild and complex aromas. Their whisky is described as handmade, and they explain that they do not use chill filtration for the whisky and instead strive to preserve the aromas, although small patches and caramel coloring are used to achieve a uniform appearance.

Products / Whisky Series

The company produces whisky under the name Single Malt Whisky 7 Years Old, as well as two other whisky labels in their portfolio — Vangiones Aureus Whisky and Vangiones Fumosa Whisky — which are available in their Whisky section. These products appear in their Whisky collection, where price and details vary.
