Rauchkofel is a brand of the Kuenz natural distillery from Austria, run by the Kuenz family for many generations and known for fruit schnapps and liqueurs. Since 2014, whisky has also been produced there, with the name Rauchkofel referring to a mountain in the Zillertal Alps.
As of 2017, there are already more than 150 distilleries in Germany producing German whisky. Most distilleries produce clear brandies and use whisky production as a niche and side business.
