Filliers Family Reserve Whisky: Six Generations of Craftsmanship Bottled in a 29-Year-Old Expression

At Filliers Distillery, we believe that exceptional whisky takes time. Time to mature, to develop character, and to tell a story. We are therefore proud to present our most exclusive release to date: Filliers Family Reserve – 1st Edition, 29 Years Old Single Cask.

A Whisky with History

This unique bottling is much more than a number on a label. The Family Reserve pays tribute to six generations of Filliers, to a tradition that began in 1880, and to the craftsmanship that still lies at the heart of our work today. Distilled in February 1995 by master distiller Pedro Saez-Del-Burgo, this whisky is directly linked to the birth of Benoit Filliers – the sixth generation of our family.

29 Years of Patience, Pure Belgian Craftsmanship

The whisky matured for 29 years in cask #5953, an American white oak barrel, until it was bottled in June 2024. This single cask distillate is non-chill filtered, non-coloured, and made exclusively from Belgian malted barley, rye, and natural spring water from our own estate. Every detail, from grain to cask, reflects our dedication to Belgian distilling tradition.

Only 286 Bottles Worldwide

Exclusivity here is not a marketing phrase, but a fact. Only 286 hand-numbered bottles of this Family Reserve exist. It is a true collector’s item for those who appreciate rare expressions with a deep, layered character. On the nose, expect complex aromas of dried fruit, leather, and spicy oak. The palate is rich, rounded, and surprisingly vibrant for a whisky of this age.

The Start of a Tradition

With the Family Reserve, we are opening a new chapter in our whisky portfolio. This 1st Edition marks the beginning of a series of exceptional releases, each tied to a piece of our family’s history. We still preserve casks from the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s – silent witnesses to generations of passion and patience.
