Michter's Whiskey Tasting with Sandra Winters
Saturday, September 6, 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM
We are delighted to welcome Sandra Winters (Regional Advisor GSA Germany, Switzerland, Austria) this evening. The German-born ambassador has been based in Düsseldorf for ten years and, after fifteen years in the restaurant industry, immersed herself in the world of spirits. In 2018, Sandra Winters started working for the German Michter's distributor, where she discovered and fell in love with the world of Michter's Whiskeys.
Sandra was with us last year and held a great tasting.
Last year, Sandra brought us some surprise dramas. We hope that happens again...
After a welcome drink, Sandra will have a wealth of information about the history and tradition of Michter's starting at 7 p.m. on September 6th. She will be accompanied by a total of six top whiskeys, including the 10-year-old Bourbon, one of the distillery's absolute flagships.
Bread and pretzels and 6x 2cl Michter's Whiskeys will be tasted.
We'll gather together in our fireplace room, tasting room, and lounge. Just pick your spot!

Louis XIII Tasting with Thomas
Whisky and rum tastings: A delight for the senses
Whiskey and rum – two fine spirits that combine pleasure and sensuality. But what makes a whiskey or rum tasting so special? Why is this experience becoming increasingly popular among connoisseurs and the curious? Prepare for a journey into the fascinating world of these fine spirits!
Whisky and Rum – Why Tastings Are Becoming Increasingly Popular
Whether you're a whisky lover or a rum novice, tastings offer a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of high-quality spirits. This isn't just about tasting. Rather, the focus is on a more conscious perception of flavors, the stories behind the spirits, and a communal experience.
Discover new worlds of flavors
A tasting broadens your horizons. Whether sweet vanilla notes, smoky accents, or spicy nuances – our well-organized tastings will teach you how diverse whisky and rum can be. The targeted guidance from our invited brand ambassadors from the industry will allow you to discover aromas and subtleties that might otherwise have remained hidden.
Suitable for beginners and connoisseurs
The charm of a tasting also lies in the fact that everyone can take something away with them. Beginners discover the basics and perhaps, for the first time, flirt with a variety of flavors that surprises them. Connoisseurs, on the other hand, delve deeper into the details, compare subtleties, and perhaps even discover a new favorite.
Experience a relaxed community
Our tastings are held in groups of up to 25 people. This allows you to meet like-minded people, share experiences, and learn from different perspectives. A special atmosphere is created that deepens the enjoyment.
The process of a whisky or rum tasting
How does such a tasting actually work? Here's a brief overview of the most important steps:
1. Welcome and introduction
To start, we'll serve a welcome drink related to the day's theme. This could be a cocktail or something else. Prepare to be surprised!
2. The tasting steps
A good tasting is more than just drinking. Every drop is savored carefully, emphasizing the following steps:
- Appearance: We consider the color of the spirit. A dark rum might indicate extended barrel aging, while a light whiskey is more fresh and youthful.
- Scent: The nose reveals a lot. Notes of fruit, vanilla, wood, or smoke might surprise you.
- Taste: Take a small sip and let the aromas slowly melt on your tongue. Often, the notes unfold gradually.
- Finish: How long does the flavor linger on the tongue? The finish is an important factor that reflects the quality of a spirit.
3. Expertise and anecdotes
During the tasting, our invited brand ambassadors share fascinating stories and background information about the respective brands, distilleries, or special barrel aging processes. This information lends character and personality to each bottle tasted.
4. Identify personal favorites
At the end of the tasting, you will not only have a better overview of different varieties, but probably also a new favorite.
The benefits of a whisky or rum tasting
Why participate in a tasting? Here are some compelling reasons:
- High-quality selection: At every tasting we offer high-quality spirits and specials that are not available for purchase.
- Education and culture: Whiskey and rum are part of a cultural tradition. Through tastings, you'll learn more about their history, production methods, and differences.
- Variety: Whether it's a cozy evening with friends or a surprise for your partner, tastings are always a unique experience.
- Team building: Many companies book tastings as a special activity for their teams. The shared enjoyment promotes exchange and creates a positive atmosphere.
