Herrsching - The Heiligen Berg Feld Distillery in Andechs-Widdersberg is auctioning off five bottles of their whiskey from the first cask for Ukrainian children in need.
The campaign ends tomorrow.
An auction for social purposes, cancer research and artists in need in the corona pandemic, was actually planned, the March owner family explains in a press release.
But now the world has turned.
"We want to set an example and stand together with the Ukrainian people suffering from the war!"
The March family refers to a statement by Unicef Germany: “The situation in Ukraine has deteriorated dramatically.
At Unicef, we are very concerned about the situation of girls and boys.
The lives and well-being of 7.5 million children are at risk.
The children and families need our help in the current crisis more than ever.
Unicef is now stepping up its commitment to children.
We urgently call for protecting children and ensuring humanitarian aid can reach children in need safely and quickly.”
In order to alleviate the misery caused by "The Water of Life", citizens can take part in the auction.
According to the März family, whiskey collectors are familiar with the value of a bottle of Cask Eins.
It is, so to speak, the birth bottle of a distillery (Distilled 03/2018, Bottled 10/2021, Cask No, 1, cask strength 57.4%, 500 mL, Aged in Sherry Pedro Ximenez).
