Whisky enthusiasts, mark your calendars! Marketing effizient is thrilled to announce the inaugural Mellenthin Whisky Weekend, taking place January 23-25, 2026, within the historic walls of Water Castle Mellenthin on Usedom. This promises to be a truly immersive experience for those seeking a deep dive into the art and craft of single malt whisky.
Imagine waking to the aroma of castle coffee before embarking on a journey through the mashing process – that’s just the beginning. The weekend’s core revolves around the castle’s own brewery and fermentation cellar, offering a fascinating look at the initial stages of whisky creation. But the real magic happens with a dedicated visit to the Insel-Manufaktur distillery. Here, you’ll witness firsthand the intricacies of whisky distillation, including the crucial separation of fore-shots, middle cuts, and feints – a process typically unseen by the casual drinker.
And what’s whisky without a tasting? Saturday evening promises a remarkable culinary pairing: a meticulously curated 6-course menu designed to complement a selection of matured malt whisky varieties. The experience isn’t just about the whisky; it’s about understanding how flavor profiles evolve and interact.
Accommodation is seamlessly integrated into the weekend. Guests will enjoy stylish rooms within the castle, complete with two delicious breakfast buffets and access to a tranquil wellness area. Early booking is strongly recommended, as spaces within the historic setting are limited.
