What (whisky) did we just make?

Making the first whisk(e)y in Brussels was a monumental achievement for Tipsy Tribe; we planned and planned, developed recipes and shot for the moon. With our tiny little 50L pot still we handcrafted whiskey (or whisky or white dog or whatever u want to call it) and then asked ourselves an important question: what the hell did we just make?... it's corn and rye mixed with Belgian pale malt... is it a bourbon?...nah it's not, even though it kinda is.. In truth we can't call it bourbon since some very sensitive people at the top of the game will get mighty offended. So what then...is it a single malt? Well yeah it kinda is as well since it's made entirely by us at our distillery, but it's more than that. So we decided to say fuck all that jazz, and make a new category. Belgian Whisky but bourbon-ish...Belbon...or so we've been suggested to call it. 

Ok maybe not....seeing it in writings gives me a panic attack. Belbon? Burban? Belgian whiskey or whisky or whatever the hell it is, it's tasting amazing and needs a name.. suggestions appreciated. 

Anyways the first barrel opens soon and we are so proud of it already. Brussels needs a real distillery, true artisan craft from a real Brussels distillery. Tradition starts here in Koekelberg! Come visit us for a tour and tasting at our tap room!
