A passion, a decision,
a whisky, a success story
Andy Bössow loves distilling - and when an acquaintance wrote him in an e-mail in 2015 that there was a distillery for sale in Thurgau, he didn't hesitate for a second. He flew back to Switzerland from Dubai, where he had lived with his wife Martina and their two children since 2005. The couple acquired Macardo and inspired Master Distiller Bartholomäus Fink for their project. Together, they created the Macardo Single Malt in traditional handcraft and over an open fire. Since 2016, it has been winning prize after prize at international awards. That was the spark for success and for the new world of Macardo.
