A hint of roasted hazelnut and some cocoa add structure. The sweetness is well integrated and combines with a mild, grain-driven whisky aroma.

The finish is long, soft and lingering. Vanilla remains at first, followed by malt and caramel. A subtle hint of oak and delicate spice recall the whisky heritage of Säntis Malt. The texture feels velvety, almost silky. A dessert in a glass that pampers the palate.

For enthusiasts, this creates a multi-layered interplay of aromas that unfolds particularly beautifully when enjoyed slowly.

Production of Cream Edition Marwees 0.5 l by Säntis Malt

This whisky liqueur is made by the traditional Locher Brewery in Appenzell. Its expertise in grain, malt and wooden casks contributes to every step of the production process. The foundation consists of carefully selected grains, which are first malted and fermented. This produces the distinctive Säntis Malt, which forms the backbone of the liqueur.

The whisky matures in wooden casks, which lend the spirit structure, colour and delicate notes of vanilla and caramel. Its close ties to the region’s brewing tradition are reflected in its pronounced malt character. After maturation in wood, it is refined into a cream liqueur. This is where the product’s creamy soul comes into play.

For the cream component, the producer uses milk and cream. These ingredients combine with the matured whisky to create a dense, creamy base. Carefully balanced aromas such as vanilla and caramel support the natural sweetness of the grain. The result is a harmonious interplay of a malty core and soft creaminess.

Production requires a keen sense of balance. The alcohol content is 18 percent and ideally matches the rich body. The whisky character remains clearly perceptible without ever becoming too dominant. Instead, it blends gently into the cream. Colouring agents give the liqueur its attractive cream tone and accentuate the caramel highlights in the glass.

Before bottling, thorough filtration ensures a clear sheen and smooth texture. This gives each bottle a cohesive character, from the first aroma to the final sip. The result: a Swiss whisky liqueur with cream that combines craftsmanship, regional character and enjoyment in a single bottle.

Serving suggestions for Cream Edition Marwees 0.5 l by Säntis Malt

Cream Edition Marwees is ideal as a dessert in a glass. Served neat over ice, it reveals all its creaminess. For a classic serve, place two or three ice cubes in a tumbler and pour the whisky liqueur over them. Swirl briefly, smell once, then enjoy in small sips.

For a refined after-dinner drink, use the liqueur as the base for a “Swiss Cream Coffee”. Brew a strong espresso or mocha. Fill a heatproof glass two-thirds full with hot coffee. Add a generous measure of Cream Edition Marwees and stir briefly. Top with freshly whipped cream. A touch of cocoa powder or grated chocolate adds the finishing touch. The result is a full-bodied coffee drink with a malty accent.

The whisky liqueur also shows its versatility in cocktails. For an “Alpine Night”, fill a shaker with ice. Add Cream Edition Marwees, a small measure of Swiss herbal liqueur and some cocoa liqueur. Shake vigorously and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Express a small orange zest over the drink and add it to the glass. This creates an elegant combination of cream, malt, cocoa and delicate herbal spice.

Those who prefer an even more dessert-like style can enhance ice cream and sweet dishes with a splash of the liqueur. Vanilla ice cream gains added depth and a malty accent. Chocolate mousse also becomes more complex when a little whisky liqueur is stirred in before chilling. A few chopped nuts or brittle on top complement the flavour profile perfectly.

In summer, an ice-cold version works well as a long drink. Fill a highball glass with plenty of ice. Pour in Cream Edition Marwees and top up with chilled whole milk. Stir briefly and sprinkle with a little grated nutmeg. This creates a creamy, light drink for warm evenings.

The whisky liqueur also pairs wonderfully with baked goods. Butter biscuits, almond cookies and nut biscuits harmonise perfectly with the notes of malt, vanilla and cream. Serve the liqueur in small glasses alongside a platter of biscuits and pralines. This creates a well-rounded tasting experience that guests will remember for a long time.

Whether as the conclusion to a festive meal, a creamy cocktail or an accompaniment to sweet dishes: Cream Edition Marwees 0.5 l by Säntis Malt offers a versatile experience for anyone who appreciates a characterful, creamy Swiss whisky liqueur.
