Bud Spencer and Whisky

From Naples to Rüdenau

Under this heading, blogger and whisky connoisseur Hagen Metzler writes in an outstanding article about his trip to Naples, the hometown of Carlo Pedersoli alias Bud Spencer, and spans the arc to Rüdenau to St. Kilian, Germany's largest whisky distillery.

The lively city in the south of Italy with its numerous culinary delicacies, the great sights and, above all, the warm-hearted people there make you understand why Carlo Pedersoli claimed "I am not Italian, I am Neapolitan".

The dormant Vesuvius at the gates of the city is probably responsible for the charged and bustling atmosphere. After all, the volcano could erupt again any day. Naples simply suits Carlo Pedersoli, who didn't take himself, the world and life too seriously and didn't flinch for long even as film star Bud Spencer.

A Bud Spencer exhibition, supported by the Pedersoli family, made the author aware of the star's charisma even post mortem through film projections, film objects, private photos and objects from Bud Spencer's life.

St. Kilian Bud Spencer Whisky

Here we come to St. Kilian. Germany's largest whisky distillery entered into a licensing cooperation with the Bud Spencer brand in 2020 and has been writing a great success story with the popular film star ever since. Read all about the St. Kilian Bud Spencer single malt whiskies, the record-breaking online tasting with the presentation of the smoky Bud Spencer whisky and many other delicious bottlings from the house of St. Kilian in the article by Hagen Metzler.

By the way: At this year's Concourse International in Lyon, St. Kilian just won the gold medal with the smoky Bud Spencer Single Malt Whisky. All respect!

Excellent casks, the best barley malt, genuine Scottish equipment - all this is very important for the excellent spirits. But St. Kilian lives above all through its team, creative entrepreneurial spirit and absolute dedication to good single malt whisky.
