Bockmeyer: Customised product formulations and distillates

Bockmeyer Kellereitechnik GmbH has been an established supplier to distilleries in Germany, Europe and the USA for over 40 years. In addition, customers are advised on initial equipment and extensions to their technical systems. The company relies on many established manufacturers to configure suitable systems to meet customer requirements. True to the slogan ‘everything from a single source’, the range includes not only machines but also flavours, botanicals, consumables and bottles of all kinds, many of which are available on demand. Moreover, individual, tailormade product recipes and distillates for direct sale are developed in an in-house distillery run by an employee. In addition, a large selection of ready-to-sell spirits, liqueurs and vinegars in large containers has been available for many years.

In 2026, the gin series of Bockmeyer Lyndl Gin and Bockmeyer Citra Gin was expanded to include Bockmeyer P3PP3R & RSE. This impresses consumers with a fine floral note and complements the existing gins with a focus on lavender or citrus flavours. In 2026, Bockmeyer’s own premium vodka will also be available for the first time, with a subtle hint of pepper.

At the World Spirits Award, Gold went to Bockmeyer Gin P3PP3R & RSE and Bockmeyer Premium Vodka, and Silver to Bockmeyer Citra Gin and Bockmeyer Lyndl Gin.
