WHISKAVIA / DISTILLERY REFERENCE

Belgian Owl / The Owl Distillery

A Belgian single-malt producer rooted in Hesbaye barley farming. Its distillery description documents copper stills transferred from Scotland's former Caperdonich site. The historical equipment link does not transfer Caperdonich's Scottish production history to Belgium. A 2026 closure is reported by secondary sources and awaits independent primary verification.

  2. first bottling

    Belgian Owl's producer brochure dates its first single-malt bottling to 30 October 2007; the brochure contains inconsistent EN/DE commercial-release months, so no market launch date is asserted.

  3. equipment transfer

    Belgian Owl's historical brochure dates the arrival of two stills from the former Caperdonich Distillery to 27 February 2013. This is equipment history, not a transfer of the Scottish site's geographic identity.
