History

Bräntings Bränneri is a young, small whisky distillery outside the village of Bunge, Gotland. The distillery sits in an old military bunker surrounded by Gotland's nature. We produce small batches of limited edition whiskies and work with different malts and aging casks. Our history shows a dedication to raw materials and cask aging.

Production/Manufacturing

Our copper still is handmade in Portugal and used to produce our own single malt whisky. We use lightly peated malt from Gotland. We mature the spirit in different casks and cask types, including ex-bourbon, ex-rum and ex-sherry as well as new American, French and Swedish oak casks. Some of our blends finish with roasted oak staves from our own trees, which impart notes of vanilla, caramel and licorice. According to Bräntings Bränneri, 70-80% of the whisky's flavor comes from cask aging, and 100% of the color comes from coloring in the cask.

Philosophy

Our goal is to find the best raw materials for the desired flavor, and our focus is on cask aging, since this accounts for 70-80% of the whisky's flavor and 100% of the color. We work with casks such as ex-bourbon, ex-rum and ex-sherry, as well as new oak casks from the USA, France and Sweden. We plan to develop our own single malt in the future, which will require a few years in casks before it is released.
