Indulge in Waterloo The Brancardier, an exceptional Belgian single grain whisky crafted at the historic Ferme de Mont-Saint-Jean. Distilled from an artisanal beer base featuring 30% heritage wheat, this 50 cl bottle charms with its fruity, round, and gourmet profile. Perfect as an aperitif, a digestif, or a thoughtful gift for fine spirit enthusiasts. A true celebration of Walloon brewing heritage and craftsmanship.
Nestled in the historic heart of Walloon Brabant, the Ferme de Mont-Saint-Jean breathes new life into the tradition of Belgian whisky-making. The name The Brancardier honours the brave stretcher-bearers who rescued the wounded during the historic 1815 battle, bringing them back to safety inside the farm walls. Today, this rich history lives on in every drop, combining ancestral craftsmanship with modern distilling mastery.
Far from mass-produced spirits, this single grain is brewed using local organic wheat and barley from the battlefield grounds. On the palate, it delivers a warm, comforting sensation that invites relaxation and shared moments with friends. Every sip bridges rich texture with smooth complexity, offering an immersive sensory journey rooted in authenticity.
The maturation process of The Brancardier relies on a carefully orchestrated cask selection. Initially, the spirit ages in new American white oak (Quercus Alba) casks (30L and 225L) for structural depth and vanilla hints. It is then finished in casks previously seasoned with Scottish Highlands whisky or bourbon, adding layers of harmony and softness. With a 3-year aging process at 43% ABV, it achieves perfect maturity. (Note: This whisky is unpeated).
