Opening of the Macardo Swiss Distillery

In and around an old cheese dairy in Strohwilen (TG), the new "Macardo World" was built and opened in November. In addition to one of the most modern distilleries in Switzerland, it also contains what is probably the most innovative whisky barrel storage facility in Europe.

Also included are a 10-room premium bed & breakfast, business apartments, an event venue, an Honesty Bar with Smoker Lounge and a walk-in store.

Experience is in demand

"Our history shows that Macardo lovers don't just want to buy our products - they want to be part of the Macardo experience," explains owner Andreas Bössow. Macardo has stood for first-class Swiss premium whiskies and spirits such as gin, sloe gin, rum, vodka, vermouth and fruit brandies since 2015. Very many awards at the International Wine & Spirit Competition (IWSC) testify to a very high quality standard.

Sustainable multigenerational project

The new building, a multi-generational project, is based on a sustainability concept that is unique in the distillery scene. "No other distillery is designed like Macardo. We use firewood, solar energy, geothermal energy, water from our own source and regional ingredients. Thanks to our cycle, not a log of wood, not a kWh, not a liter of water, and not a raw material is wasted," says Andreas Bössow.
