The corn
The Korn is an art project started in 2008 by Theo Ligthart in cooperation with the Prussian Spirituosen Manufaktur and the distillery in Sellendorf, Brandenburg . It is a high-quality grain brandy that, in its original version, is aged for six months in earthenware barrels.
In addition, since 2015 there has been a variant made from grain stored for five years in Pinot Blanc , Chardonnay and sweet wine barrels, as well as toasted barrels made from Spessart oak. The result can also be called whiskey .
The bottles for Das Korn are made by the French glass refiner Saverglass .
Exhibitions
In 2009 Das Korn was presented by Galerie Thomas Schulte at the Armory Show in New York and realized as an exhibition during the Art Forum Berlin that same year .
Awards
The old German double grain Das Korn was nominated in 2009 for the Mixology Bar Award “Spirit of the Year”.
