“One of the great distilleries of Europe, make no mistake.” JIM MURRAY
In the year of 1857 when Jakob Baumberger returned home from his studies in Munich, the newly graduated masterbrewer founded a distillery at his father’s farm.In 1860 he took over a small brewery at Langenthal, a village which was first mentioned historically in 861 as “Langatun”. He then developed both the distillery and the brewery, turning them into very successful enterprises.
After Jakob’s death, his son, Hans Baumberger the 1st, successfully continued the business with his brothers. In 1907, they founded a company for the exploitation of peat in order to be able to fire the distillery and to run the malting plant.
Nearly 150 years later, in 2007, masterbrewer and distiller Hans BaumbergerIII decided to continue the vision of his great grandfather, Jakob. In the best family tradition he created the hand-crafted “Langatun“ Single Malt Whisky and other top-class spirits.
