Mont-Saint-Jean Waterloo Single Grain Whisky

Mont-Saint-Jean Farm, in the heart of the Waterloo battlefield, Belgium is very proud to present you its whiskies produced from the brewing of their Waterloo beers.  "Sourced directly from pear orchards, the intense flavour of pear blends with the exotic notes of green banana and pineapple. Add a touch of caramelised hazelnuts, fresh vanilla tobacco and butterscotch." The first barrels of Scotch whisky arrived on the farm in 1815, during the Battle of Waterloo. The whisky was mostly reserved for the officers and helped them fight off the pain of the injuries sustained on this battlefield. Today, after three years of distilling on the basis of the recipe for our Waterloo beers, we can finally present our three Waterloo Whiskies: ‘The Surgeon’, ‘The Nurse’ and ‘The Brancardier’. ‘Brancardiers’ or stretcher-bearers were probably the most vulnerable people during the Battle of Waterloo. As precursors of the ambulance, they single-handedly carried the wounded to Mont-Saint-Jean Farm.
