For five decades, Bimmerle Distillery has been achieving exceptional quality in spirits through a
successful blend of expertise, advanced technology, and tradition.
Founded in 1966 with just 22 employees, the distillery has since grown to become the market leader in
Germany’s spirits industry, now employing over 110 people.

From its new, state-of-the-art production facility in Sasbach, this family-owned company sets new
standards in technology, sustainability, and environmental protection.

As the first distillery in Germany, Bimmerle covers all its energy needs (heat and power generation)
through the combustion of fruit pits and wood waste sourced from the Black Forest region, all with the
aim of energy sustainability.

In 1995, Günter and his son Tomas took a significant step toward internationalization by acquiring and
expanding Lörch, a company renowned across Europe for its fruit brandies.

In November 2016, new possibilities of the cutting-edge sustainable distillery in Sasbach allowed
Bimmerle to launch another brand alongside Lörch. Needle Black forest Dry Gin is an original
handcrafted gin from Black Forest. The secret behind Needle Gin lies in its exceptional quality combined
with the essence of the Black Forest. Needle tells the story of the Black Forest region, inspired by its
nature, people, lifestyle, and passion.

Aiming to capture not only the world of gin lovers, but also the hearts of rum enthusiasts, in 2018, the
world welcomed Wood Stork Spiced Rum. Made from sugarcane molasses fermented in the Black Forest
and distilled in traditional copper stills.

The year 2020 saw the launch of Don Pasquale Aperitivo, a brand celebrating handpicked fruit and
exceptional recipes. Don Pasquale offers Italian aperitifs, designed to serve and enjoy on warm summer
evenings.

At Bimmerle Distillery, the motto is “to develop tradition and enrich it with the passion of the Black
Forest.”
