Penninger Blutwurz

Penninger Blutwurz is a traditional Bavarian herbal liqueur crafted by the Alte Hausbrennerei Penninger. The brand is deeply rooted in the Bavarian Forest region of Germany, where it was established as a family-run distillery in 1905. The liqueur is famous for its high alcohol content (typically 50% vol) and its unique reddish-brown color, which is naturally derived from the root of the Common Tormentil (Blutwurz) plant.

The manufacturing process remains concentrated in its homeland of Bavaria, specifically in Waldkirchen. As a protected geographical indication, 'Bayerischer Blutwurz' ensures that the production adheres to regional standards. The brand continues to be managed by the Penninger family, maintaining its status as an independent, traditional German distillery known for high-quality spirits and bitters.
