Dresdner Whisky Manufaktur UG (haftungsbeschränkt)

It all started with this harmless remark.

Frank Leichsenring and Thomas Michalski have been friends for decades and are both whisky lovers. The remark "Why don't we distil our own whisky?" stuck with both friends. The question had been around for a long time and matured over the years, just as a good whisky has to mature over the years. In 2019, the time had come and the idea was put into practice.

Study trips to Scotland were undertaken in order to gain inspiration directly on site in the home of whisky, which was necessary for the implementation of the idea.

In January 2019, the Dresdner Whisky Manufaktur was founded and a little later the HELLINGER brand was registered.

In spring 2020, advertising expert Uwe Löscher and communications specialist Rainer Kern joined the founding team. What they all have in common is their passion for good whisky.

A location in Dresden's Alberthafen was found as a home for the Dresdner Whisky Manufaktur and the building is currently being converted for the distillery's needs. The first construction measures have already begun.
