Uberach

Established in 1874 by Joseph Bertrand, Distillerie Bertrand in Uberach, Alsace, has a long tradition of producing exceptional eaux-de-vie. In 2003, Jean Metzger, a visionary in the world of spirits, took over the distillery and began crafting distinctive Alsatian whiskies. Utilizing pure water sourced from the Vosges mountains and organic malted barley from a nearby brewery, some lightly peated, he produces single malt whiskies that reflect the exceptional quality of the raw ingredients. Distillation is carried out in traditional stills, combining pot and column methods to preserve the integrity, complexity, and aromatic richness of the spirit. Aging is conducted in French oak barrels, many of which previously held wines from esteemed producers such as Jean-François Ganevat, Jacques Selosse, Domaine Romanée Conti, and Gérard Schuller. Limited single-cask bottlings highlight the rarity, precision, and craftsmanship behind every whisky, ensuring that each expression possesses a distinctive personality and complexity while reflecting the heritage of the Alsace terroir.
The whiskies of Distillerie Bertrand are a true reflection of Alsace’s terroir and Jean Metzger’s passion for innovation. By aging spirits in barrels that once contained Banyuls wine or prestigious Grand Cru Pinot Noir, he imparts layers of aromatic depth, subtle spice, and rich, rounded textures. The combination of low yields, no added sulfites, long aging, and careful maturation produces whiskies with remarkable texture, brilliant color, and complex, evolving aromas. Each sip reveals nuanced flavors, from ripe fruits to delicate smoky and earthy notes, culminating in a long, expressive finish. These whiskies are bold yet refined, reflecting both the innovation of Metzger and the authenticity of the region. Highly aromatic with a strong personality, they offer a sensory journey unlike any other, bridging the artistry of wine barrels with the mastery of whisky production. Distillerie Bertrand has established itself as a benchmark for Alsatian whisky, where tradition, terroir, and craftsmanship converge in every bottle.
