Steinhart Distillery

Craft distilling is a rich Steinhart family tradition over 300 years in the making. Thomas Steinhart still remembers coming of age in rural Germany, where he spent many happy hours helping his grandfather stoke the woodfired still. Though the fire has long since extinguished and the family farm has been sold, the joy of using natural ingredients to craft superb spirits is still ablaze in Thomas’ memory.
At Steinhart Distillery our mash is prepared daily by hand, batch by batch. We believe in using only the best quality maritime grown winter wheat. Besides natural sugars, wheat contains starch which is a long chained sugar molecule (poly saccharide) which needs to be broken down into simple sugars (mono and bi saccharides) this is in order to be digested by the yeast. This is done with the help of enzymes which exist in nature and sprouting grains, in other words malt!
