More information about Leverings Ossenkämper
The genuine Leverings Ossenkämper is a velvety smooth and mildly spicy herbal liqueur with 40% alcohol. It is based on pure fine wheat distillate, which is distilled from wheat and malt. This wheat grain is stored in old oak barrels for at least three months.
The special thing about Leverings Ossenkämper is its composition of over 47 different herbs, spices, flowers and roots from all continents of the world. These include cloves, aniseed, licorice, cardamom, coriander, lemon balm, gentian root and many more. Our master distiller spends a great deal of time carefully processing these herbs in very complex distillation, maceration and percolation processes. Thanks to his highly trained nose, he blends all these ingredients into this delicious herbal liqueur.
The Ossenkämper recipe was developed in the 1950s by the descendants of Carl Levering. Carefully preserved, it has only been handed down from master distiller to master distiller and is therefore the most closely guarded company secret, which even today is only known to the closest employees. This guarantees the consistent quality and effect of genuine Leverings Ossenkämper.
Not too sweet, but mild with an incomparable aroma, Ossenkämper will surprise you: velvety brown in color and perfect in taste with its very own note. A herbal liqueur like you've never tasted before. Some connoisseurs say that Ossenkämper tastes of Christmas spices. Others discover aromas of African herbs or even coffee or cocoa.

You can also mix your Ossenkämper in a variety of ways, with cola, orange juice, energy drink, cocoa or milk. Simply find out for yourself how you prefer to enjoy your Ossenkämper.

Leverings Ossenkämper
In 1808, Carl Levering founded a grain distillery just outside the small Westphalian town of Schwelm. From here, one looked all around over large pastures where the numerous herds of cattle traditionally spent the summer. These oxen meadows were simply called "Ossenkamp" in Schwelmer Platt. "Ossenkämper" was then also the name Carl Levering gave to his distinctive herbal liqueur, which is still one of the most popular specialties of the fine Kornbrennerei Levering. Even today, our master distillers continue in the tradition of the old craft - because a good distillate needs above all time and care! The extraordinary purity and fullness of taste of our distillates and liqueurs have won over a growing circle of connoisseurs and gourmets over 200 years. Even beyond the regional borders.
