Product description
Sunken Still is a proposal from the Belgian Filliers Distillery based in the village of Bachte-Maria-Leerne in East Flanders. It was built in 1880 by Karel Lodevijk Filliers and until the early 21st century it distilled jenever and gin.
In 2006, the plant underwent a thorough modernization and began producing whiskey, which debuted a year later as Goldlys. The Sunken Still brand is a whiskey distilled from 100% rye and aged in bourbon barrels. Its name ("Sunken Alembic") is a nod to the distillery workers during World War I. To prevent the enemy from confiscating the copper device and melting it down for ammunition, they sank it in a nearby river. Sunken Still is available in 3- and 4-year-old versions, we present the younger one here.
