A soft, rich Vodka crafted in the Netherlands from ancient grain.
The Stillery is three men — Pascal, Robin, and Daan. Pascal started as a modern-day Dutch Moonshiner of sorts. He was literally building small pot stills in his bathtub, producing home-made Vodkas. He gave a sample to his old friend Robin and they decided their fate. Daan is a serial entrepreneur with sales experience. Together they all launched The Stillery in 2012. They built a small, craft distillery facility and a local tavern on site in the Netherlands where they produce their signature Vodka and a classic Dutch Genever.
Naturally, they named their first product "The Stillery's First." Interestingly, it’s a Vodka made from organic dinkel-wheat — an old Dutch term for spelt grain. The use of spelt delivers a clean, malty flavor with hints of white chocolate and a richer mouthfeel. And they use water naturally filtered though the dunes near the northern shore which is naturally soft on the palate.
Smartass Corner:
Spelt — also called dinkle-wheat and hulled wheat — originated as a wheat hybrid nearly ten thousand years ago. It has been cultivated as an important staple crop since the Bronze age.
