History

Edlebrennerei Schloss Neuenburg in Freyburg (Unstrut) opened in Domänenhof in 2013 with master distiller Matthias Hempel, who learned his craft in Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and Saxony. He was Newcomer of the Year 2014 and reached the Elite Circle at Destillata in Salzburg in 2015.

Production and Manufacturing

The art of distilling and an experimental approach are central. Matthias Hempel is obsessed with finding the perfect flavor pattern and experiments not only with wild berries such as vogelbeere, elsbeere, mispel, schlehe and kornekirsche in the distillery. Emphasis is placed on achieving unique flavor experiences through innovative combinations and processes.
