Motivated by the goal of refining an extraordinary terroir,
Master Distiller Etienne Bouillon embarked on a remarkable journey to manipulate the elements of nature in order to craft a whisky that is distinctly connected to the Hesbaye region, and able to compete with the finest in the world.
To stay true to ancient traditions, two genuine Scottish stills were transported to Belgium from the historic Caperdonich distillery in Speyside, Scotland. This remarkable achievement is unique worldwide, having never been done before and never repeated since.
Since that day, each distillate, embodying the heart and soul of Belgian soil, has flowed from these stills, crafting modern whiskies that are deeply rooted in tradition.
The Belgian Owl distillery exemplifies a deep passion for a noble product,
crafted from the purest natural resources by individuals who truly understand great whisky, who dare to exceed expectations, and who embrace the wisdom of nature.
HESBAYE,
BELGIUM
To craft a unique whisky that is genuine and balanced, pure and of the highest quality, they formed a bond with the soil beneath our feet, the air we breathe, and the water that flows below.
The Hesbaye region has proven to be the ideal birthplace for an authentic whisky, following Scottish traditions but deeply rooted in Belgian land.
Fresh water flowing beneath our stills and barley harvested from local farms form the foundation of their cherished elixir, meticulously crafted and matured to perfection.
Fueled by unwavering determination and a profound grasp of balance, Master Distiller Etienne Bouillon has developed a range of spirits, each narrating a story that is fundamentally Belgian, genuinely Hesbayien, and unmistakably unique.
