About us
The Destillerie Scheuermann is a fruit distillery (Abfindung distillery) in Mannheim, founded in 1970 by Otto Scheuermann. Until 1985, Otto and Else Scheuermann ran the distillery with a focus on distilling raw materials supplied by customers, after which their son Bernd Scheuermann took over the business. Since then, the focus has been on fine brandies and their refinement. The distillery processes fruit from its own cultivation as well as distilling fruit from suppliers from all over Europe, including Williams pears from southern France or South Tyrol, mirabelle plums from Alsace and cherries from the Black Forest. Only raw materials rated 1A are processed; through continuous training and new distillation methods, pure fruit brandies are produced without the addition of flavourings or sugar. The product range includes fine brandies in various sizes, liqueurs and GIN as well as gift bottles and, on request, individual bottle labels with a custom photo and personal greeting text.
