Gouden Carolus Single Malt is a refined whisky distilled from the mash of Gouden Carolus Tripel beer.  A first for Belgium are the hand hammered, copper pot stills, in which the pure mash is distilled.  The result is a pure and clear distillate.

The ensuing aging in First Fill Bourbon casks followed by a further aging in ‘Anker’ casks (oak casks reworded by the cooper according to the distillery’s own specifications) results in a refined whisky with a rich and balanced taste.  The subtle fruit aromas are delightfully enhanced by hints of wood and vanilla.

From 1637 to 1914, the miller’s family Van Breedam ground and distilled grain into jenever on the Molenberg in Blaasveld. In 1872, Louis Van Breedam and his sister left the Molenberg to become brewers in Mechelen. The Molenberg is still in the hands of the family and they continue the tradition.

Charles Leclef grew up in the brewery but remained in touch with the Molenberg in Blaasveld, where his uncle lives.  After modernizing the brewery, Charles came up with a daring plan. In the Molenberg, he wanted to distill beer to alcohol: whisky.  This whisky distillery has become the perfect match between two family traditions, brewing and distilling.
