What We Stand For - Jos. Rosche Edelkorn Distillery
We, Edelkorn-Brennerei Jos. Rosche, are a family-run distillery from Haselünne, in the heart of the Emsland and on the edge of the Oldenburger Münsterland region. For over 230 years, we have combined the art of distillation with passion, living tradition, and responsibility – for lasting moments of enjoyment. As a 6th generation family business, our ambition is to create high-quality grain spirits that impress with their quality, authenticity, and regional character. Numerous awards, e.g., as multiple WSA World Class Distillery, confirm us on our path.
We are passionate about you!
The Art of Distillation Meets Passion & Tradition
We distill our fine grain spirit ourselves in Haselünne using our own wheat and do not purchase industrially produced alcohol from third parties. With us, grain tastes like grain.
Emsland & Oldenburg Münsterland
Lived regionality for more than 300 years
Since its founding in 1703 as a country goods trading business – and especially since 1792 with the beginning of distillery and spirits production – our company's value creation has been driven by satisfied customers in the region.
Our Edelkorn distillery has become an integral part of the culinary and experience culture in Emsland, Oldenburger Münsterland, and beyond.
Love for one's homeland
Circular Economy
We rely on our deposit system for reusable bottles and crates. Thank you for participating!
We use photovoltaic systems and heat recovery systems.
Nutrient cycles are a matter of course for us: the nutrient-rich stillage resulting from the raw distillation of our own wheat is fed into a biogas plant. The digestate produced there is then used as fertilizer for our wheat.

The Rosche Team
Family and Employees – The Foundation of Our Success
Our Edelkorn distillery has been family-owned since its founding. To this day, we have managed to overcome difficult phases due to deaths, economic crises, and ruinous price wars, together with our employees.
We are very grateful to them and our ancestors for their courage and great commitment. Everyone makes the quality of our products and services their personal concern.
We can be "a little proud" of their craftsmanship, their willingness to serve and their competence, and not least the good taste of the products.
Social responsibility at home and abroad
As a manufacturer of highly distilled alcohol, which - like many other things in daily life - can bring much joy when consumed in moderation, we are also aware of the dangers of addictive substances and drugs in human problems. In such situations, any indulgence can have the opposite effect. We ask everyone to refrain from indulgence in these situations.
We explicitly point this out within the framework of our Korn-Academie and at other events.
Our advertising communication emphasizes the enjoyment character of our products. We refuse to generate sales increases through discount promotions.
We also support projects to strengthen the self-confidence of vulnerable young people in the region, as well as initiatives for street children in Brazil and for school education and water supply in Uganda. In this way, we connect our roots here in the Emsland region with responsibility beyond the region.
We in summary:
