Dresden & Whisky

Saxon Take on Famous Scottish Export Enjoy an introduction to Saxon whiskey during an excursion to the Dresdner Whisky Manufaktur. Steeped in Scottish traditions but with a taste and methods all its own, Dresdner is Germany’s largest whisky distillery, producing approximately 2½ million bottles of its Hellinger 42 annually. You will transfer by motor coach from your ship to the distillery, located in Dresden’s historic Alberthafen waterfront. Upon arrival, watch an introductory video comparing Scottish whisky and Saxon whisky production methods. Afterward, view the brewing room where more than 13,000 feet of pipes connect fermentation tanks, mash tun, stills and more. Cap your visit with a tasting of three different whiskys, including a mild tasting Hellinger 42 and a fruit-noted Hellinger 42 Sherry. Afterward, you will return to your awaiting ship. * Easy - Walking portions are generally over easy surfaces with few steps or inclines.
