1. History of the Company The company was founded in Haselünne, Germany, in the year 1758 by Johann Bernhard Tobias Berentzen. For more than 250 years now, the name Berentzen has been synonymous with a long tradition of distilling brands and the enjoyment of fine spirits. The development from a regional producer to an international working company happened mainly in the last century. In 1994 the Berentzen Company went public as the first spirit company in Germany.

2. History of the Product The product range of Berentzen started with “Apfelkorn”. In 1975, a salesman from Berentzen recognized a trend in bars for young people. In these bars, a cocktail of apple juice and a product called "Korn" was popularly served. This information was given to Berentzen and the development of a new product started. The first consumer tests were made for the so called “Appel”. The roll- out of the new product, based on a base of korn (grain spirit) and a significant apple taste, with a final alcohol content of 25% was made in February 1976. The first bottles of “Appel” were sold to some small regional wholesalers. Afterward, increasing distribution around the country was very rapid, until “Appel” was sold nation-wide with huge success. Very soon the first orders came from countries bordering Germany and so started the export of the Berentzen product range. In the early 80s, the name “Appel” was changed into “Berentzen ApfelKorn” or in English “Berentzen Apple” referring to the base liquor of the product. Over the years, the product and the packaging developed to the needs of today. Berentzen has successfully sold Apple, and pear and is now introducing Cherry to the lineup. About Korn The product Korn is only made out of grain. The product Korn is bound to the regions of Germany, Austria and some Belgium villages of German origin. This gives the product its high quality standard and clarity in taste.
