PEDRO - Édition anniversaire 2024

Distillery De Molenberg

Charles Leclef is a representative of the fifth generation of the Van Breedam family, millers and brewers in Mechelen since the 17th century. In 1990, he took over and modernised the family brewery Het Anker, located on the site of the former beguinage hospital. In 2010 he set up a whisky distillery on the family farm 'Molenberg' in Blaasveld (municipality of Willebroek), with the idea of producing a single malt distilled from the wort of the Gouden Carolus Tripel beer. This is a good thing, because in the past the Van Breedam family milled and distilled cereals to make genever.

The name Gouden Carolus also takes us back several centuries to the time when Mechelen was the capital of the Burgundian Netherlands. It refers to the golden shield of Emperor Charles V, for whom the Mechelen Brewers' Guild brewed a special beer.

Pedro 2024 - 11th Anniversary Edition

This 11th edition was first matured in a mixture of Bourbon and Anker casks, followed by almost two years in American oak Spanish Vermouth casks. The result is a whisky with floral notes, a subtly sweet flavour and a long, fruity finish. In this whisky, you'll discover aromas of coconut and pecan, with hints of marzipan, honey, chilli and ripe apples.
