Belgian Owl

20 Years of Belgian Owl

History since 2004

On November 29, 2004, the Owl filled its first barrel, marking the beginning of an ambitious journey to create a whisky deeply rooted in the Haspengouw region. Over the past 20 years, this dedication has earned Belgian Owl numerous awards and recognitions, including the title of Best European Single Cask in 2011, with a score of 95% in Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible.

Distillation

To honor traditional methods, The Owl uses two authentic Scottish stills from the former Caperdonich distillery in Speyside, Scotland. This process results in a unique, pure, smooth, and balanced whisky of the highest quality, crafted in the beautiful Hesbaye region.

Artisanal Single Malt

Belgian Owl’s Single Malt production is entirely artisanal, with barley grown with great care. The fields are surrounded by nature, respecting the ecosystem with the help of various plants and insects. The groundwater, drawn from a 38-meter-deep well, is of exceptional quality and protected by the Walloon government and the European Union. The quality of the barley, water, distillate, and wood all contribute to Belgian Owl’s signature whisky, showcasing the Haspengouw region beautifully.
