Portrait: What defines the Sild Jöl en Reek.

After the success of the pioneering project Sild Crannog, the world's only Single Malt Whisky, which is stored at sea in a ship called "Gret Palucca", faced new challenges .

A single malt Whisky, which is stored in a bunker on the island of Sylt and the rough island climate.

With its beautiful coastal landscape, the rough sea, the kilometers of sandy beaches and the huge cliff edges, Sylt - which was historically handed down as Sild - offers a unique storage location for the new "Jöl en Reek".

Due to its ingredients, the "Jöl en Reek" is a true Sylt boy.
His connection to his homeland is not only reflected in his name "Jöl en Reek", which is based on Sölring - one of the ten main North Frisian dialects - means "fire and smoke", but also through its regional ingredients.

Such as the Sylt peat, which is used to dry the moist malt.
It is obtained through the traditional type of soil preparation, plagging.
Plagging also serves as a nature conservation measure. The resulting waste is reused as sensibly as possible on the island in order to avoid high costs due to environmentally harmful removal.

This also corresponds to the philosophy, because the highest quality products are obtained from the region is good for the environment.
The best Sylter barley and spring water are also used.
