I tried hard to include as many pictures as possible in my report of yesterday’s visit to Slyrs distillery in Schliersee. But the Worpress blog system – or the included editor, to be more specific – has serious problems integrating captioned pictures without disrupting text flow.
So I decided to collect all pictures I took in this post without further comments.

Fancy manhole on one of the wash stills. The temperature of 95°C indicates that distillation is near the end.

Some serious mashing going on

We have that problem with the wordpress text editor too – but don’t worry as the photos are excellent. We’ve followed the Slyrs distillery for a couple of years now but haven’t managed to visit ourselves. Your photos are the next best thing.
