Spiritory
German online marketplace
Spiritory is a Munich-based online marketplace for whisky, rum, cognac, wine, and other spirits, founded by Janis Wilczura and Clemens Bennier in 2022. The company operates in 11 European countries. Categories traded include Scotch whisky, Japanese whisky, bourbon, rum, cognac, wine, and champagne.
History
The startup company was founded by Janis Wilczura and Clemens Bennier in Munich in March 2022. The idea originated when Wilczura purchased a Japanese whisky bottle during a trip to Japan and found existing secondary-market platforms inadequate for reselling it. The platform launched in mid-2022.
In February 2024, Business Punk included Wilczura in its annual "Watchlist" of 100 people to watch. In October 2024, the company completed a pre-seed financing round that included Ludwig Fresenius Pioneer Ventures AG, Andreas Wiele (former ProSiebenSat.1 supervisory board chairman), and Hochschule Fresenius. By 2024, the platform had several thousand users and trading volume in the millions of euros.
In September 2025, Pernod Ricard's German division entered into a direct-to-consumer distribution agreement with Spiritory for premium whisky brands including Chivas Regal, The Glenlivet, Redbreast, and Midleton.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Spiritory” as german online marketplace. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as german online marketplace. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q140478072. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2022, 2024 and 2025.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
