About Scharlachberg

Scharlachberg Meisterbrand is a German distillery with roots dating back to 1811, known for its refined brandies and liqueurs. For newcomers it's an accessible introduction to German brandy tradition; for collectors, the age and continuity - over two hundred years of uninterrupted production - is what makes the name interesting in a category where many competitors are far younger.

History & Background

The brand has roots in Bingen am Rhein going back to the 19th century, where the town's riverside location made it a natural hub for the wine and spirits trade. German Weinbrand tradition differs from French cognac in its own rules on origin and maturation, but rests on the same basic idea of distilling and ageing wine into something warmer and rounder. Scharlachberg has changed hands several times over the years, but the name and its distinctive style have been preserved.

Production & Style

The brandy is distilled from white wine and matured in oak casks under German Weinbrand tradition, which sets requirements for both raw material and maturation time.

Signature Style

Round, Caramel, Smooth
Expect a smooth, round profile of caramel, a touch of dried fruit, and a light, warm finish.
