In 1994, Florian Stetter, together with his colleagues from the distillery guild, visited the Scottish Speyside region where the landscape is quite similar to Upper Bavaria: pine forests, mountains, clear lakes, rushing rivers and clean air. All that reminded Florian Stetter of his home. Furthermore, the Scottish population has a certain stubbornness, a difficult pronunciation and the tendency to live in a free state. Even the national dress, the kilt, represents a special tradition like the leather shorts in Bavaria.
One evening during this tour and after a few glasses of whisky, Florian Stetter bet a crate of Bavarian wheat beer, that he will distill whisky in Bavaria. So it happened. Florian Stetter returnd to the „Hopf“ Brewery in Miesbach where he had learned the craft of brewing in order to start his first whisky mash production.
In mid 2007, the complete production process was concentrated in Lantenhammer's newly constructed whisky distillery in Neuhaus: From the delivery of the barley malt to maturation of the whisky in barrels.
