The Slyrs Single Malt Whisky Oktoberfest Edition 2026 combines Bavarian whisky-making expertise with a cask finish directly inspired by Bavaria’s rich beer-making tradition. After maturing for several years in American white oak casks, the single malt undergoes an additional nine-month finish in selected beer casks from Bavarian breweries. These casks previously held aromatic craft beers, whose malt and hop notes complement the whisky’s character. In doing so, Slyrs captures the spirit of Oktoberfest and brings together two worlds of indulgence that are closely linked to Bavaria. This edition embodies conviviality, regional tradition and the experimental cask maturation practised by the Slyrs whisky distillery on Lake Schliersee.


The Slyrs Oktoberfest Edition 2026, at 45 per cent ABV, is presented in a 0.7-litre bottle complete with a gift box. The nine-month beer cask finish is the key distinguishing feature, complementing the initial maturation in American white oak with additional malty, hoppy and spicy notes. It is precisely the combination of single malt whisky and ex-craft beer casks that makes this limited special edition an intriguing bottling for connoisseurs of exceptional cask maturations and German whiskies. As the Oktoberfest Edition 2026, it is also ideal as a collector’s item or a special gift associated with the Munich Oktoberfest and Bavarian culinary culture.
