Manu and Sofie De Cort are taking their farm distillery back to the very origins of distilling. Since 2014, spirits have been flowing from their Holstein stills, made from raw materials grown in the lush Pajot fields surrounding their old fruit farm. They now also produce lambic, using barley that they malt themselves. In this way, they complete the cycle from field to bottle.

Story
The De Cort family started their farm distillery in 2014. Back to the roots of distilling, on an old fruit farm in Pepingen where the raw materials grow in the fields and orchards surrounding it. The crops they grow in collaboration with local farmers are used in their gins, jenevers, vodka and whisky. A short supply chain at its best: fair prices and complete control over the raw materials. Not an industrial operation, but people with a passion for spirits and everything that grows and flourishes around them.
Their stills have also come in handy for brewing their own lambic since 2022. And since 2025, they have also been malting their own barley. This brings the cycle from field to bottle fully full circle. As a distillery that also brews, new combinations are emerging: lambic matured in their own whisky casks or surprising blends with fruit distillates.
