Distillery
The Spirit of Cologne
As the oldest distillery in Cologne, we distil our alcohol ourselves. We only use raw materials from Cologne: wheat from Bauer Kleinschmidt in Cologne-Poll and water from our own well in Cologne-Kalk. Thanks to the greatest possible care in the manual distilling process, our spirits impress with their unique softness and subtlety in taste.
Regional. Traditional. Consistent. 100% Cologne!
You can of course purchase our high-quality Sünner Spirits on site or bottle them yourself.
Sünner Distillery
Alcohol has been distilled in the Sünner distillery since 1830. As the oldest still producing distillery in Cologne, the wheat is processed into pure alcohol by farmer Kleinschmidt from Cologne-Poll. The oldest product from Sünner is the barrel-aged Korn No.1. The new Sünner Spirits range also includes four dry gins, including an alcohol-free botanical, the vodka Colonia, the limoncello and the herbal liqueur "Edelkraut".
