Type Single Malt Bavarian whisky

Slyrs (German pronunciation: [ˈʃliːɐ̯s]) is a German whisky distillery in Schliersee, a small town in the Oberbayern region of Bavaria. The distillery is controlled by the Stetter family, which also operates a schnapps distillery previously used to distill Slyrs whisky.[1][2]

As of 2011, the whisky distillery was the largest in Germany.[3]

According to Andrea Stetter, one of Slyrs' managing directors, Slyrs whisky is fundamentally different from Scotch, with "... a mild, fruity taste ...", and "... can be drunk as soon as it is three years old."[4]

Awards

Slyrs' Sherry Edition No 1 was awarded the Gold Award for the Best European Single Malt in Whisky Magazine's World Whiskies Awards 2014.[5]
