Baron Hildprandt

The chateau distillery was founded by Baron František Hildprandt in 1885, opposite his water castle in Blatná. „over the obstacles to glory". In the middle of the last century, the Hildprandt family lost all their property and was forcibly evicted from Bohemia. They lived in Ethiopia for some time, later in Germany and members of the Hildprandt family returned to Blatná after velvet revolution in 1990. We all realize that the road to success is complicated and full of obstacles, as well as the fate of the Hidprandt family. That is why we would like people not only to enjoy an extraordinary beverage of exceptionally delicate flavor, but also to celebrate the baron Hildprandt drink with their success.

The taste of fire! by Drago


Our history began in the year 1885. Young baron Frantisek Hilprandt founded the castle distillery in the bohemian countryside in Blatna. During the summer harvest of barley in 1888, a lightning storm came, and local legend has it that farmers believed a dragon flew above the fields, and engulfed the freshly cut crops with its flames. Thanks to this moment, smoked malt was made and drago distilled for the 1st time. Nowadays, the master distiller Vaclav Sitner takes care about this genuine product.


Martin´s Barrel

3 year-old whisky is made from Bohemian peated malt and water from artesian wells in Blatná. Finally, at Blatná Castle Distillery it matures in oak barrels under the supervision of master distiller Václav Šitner. And why Martin’s? We donated this whisky to several Martins who had the biggest impact on this unique product creation.
