Discover the Stunning Essence of Belgian Whisky

 

What is New Make Spirit?

New Make Spirit, often referred to as “white whisky” or “new-make whisky,” is the unaged distillate that forms the foundation of a matured whisky. It is a pure expression of the ingredients and distillation process, free from the influence of oak aging. This allows whisky enthusiasts to experience the raw, unaltered flavors of malted barley, highlighting its natural sweetness, fruitiness, and grain-forward character. The Belgian Owl New Make Spirit offers a rare opportunity to taste whisky in its most authentic and pristine form, showcasing the craftsmanship and quality of The Owl Distillery’s Belgian-grown barley.

The Belgian Owl New Make Spirit is an unaged barley distillate crafted by The Owl Distillery in Belgium. This spirit offers enthusiasts a glimpse into the foundational flavors that, with time, evolve into their renowned single malt whiskies. For those in the Netherlands, this unique expression is available through Heritage Glasses, a provider of luxury glassware and select spirits.

The Essence of Belgian Owl New Make Spirit

Distilled from 100% Belgian barley, the New Make Spirit embodies the purity and character of its raw ingredients. The distillery emphasizes sustainable farming practices, ensuring that the barley reflects the rich terroir of the Hesbaye region. This commitment to quality is evident in the spirit’s profile.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Upon nosing, one is greeted with subtle aromas of malt, reminiscent of freshly baked bread and buttery shortbread. As it opens up, fruity nuances emerge, highlighting ripe pears and greengages, complemented by a hint of freshly mown grass.

Palate: The initial taste is notably sweet, characterized by the distillate’s rich, oily texture. This sweetness gradually gives way to orchard fruit flavors, maintaining a delicate balance between maltiness and fruitiness.

Finish: The spirit concludes with a pleasing gristy sweetness, leaving a lasting impression that invites another sip.

Notably, whisky expert Jim Murray awarded this New Make Spirit a score of 92/100 in his Whisky Bible 2020, describing it as “exceptionally pleasing with just the right degree of gristy sweetness.”

Craftsmanship and Distillation

The Owl Distillery employs traditional pot stills, originally from Scotland’s Speyside region, to distill their spirits. This method ensures a meticulous extraction of flavors, resulting in a distillate that is both pure and expressive. The New Make Spirit is non-peated, non-colored, non-chill filtered, and unaged, allowing the inherent qualities of the barley to shine through.
