About THE OSTHOLSTEINER

GUMMIG GmbH & Co. KG, based in Hamburg, has operated the brand THE OSTHOLSTEINER for spirits from East Holstein since 2013. The core product was THE OSTHOLSTEINER Doppelkorn, a 9-times filtered and hand-bottled Doppelkorn regarded as the brand's mother product. Distribution was via its own online shop directly to end customers as well as to the catering and retail trades; shipping took place within Germany, with deliveries to Austria and Switzerland possible on request. Personal collection was possible in Hamburg (Poststr. 25) and Lütjenburg, and bottles were personally signed on request. Production in Lütjenburg was discontinued at the turn of the year 2025/26; the remaining stock sold out within a short time. Reasons cited were rising costs, weak Christmas business and declining alcohol consumption; a successor for the Lütjenburg production was unsuccessfully sought for around two years.
