The Stillery

The brand entered the AF category in 2021 with its first alcohol-free spirit. Production uses a traditional copper pot still, the classic vessel in which liquid is heated and the resulting vapour condensed to concentrate flavour and aroma. What sets The Stillery's approach apart is a proprietary yeast strain developed in-house specifically to ferment an organic spelt mash. Spelt is a grain rarely used as the base for spirit production, and creating a dedicated yeast to ferment it reflects the technical rigour the brand brings to fermentation.

The Stillery was founded by Pascal Peeters, a trained chemist, and that scientific background shapes a precision-focused approach to the whole portfolio. The broader range spans vodka, gin, and genever alongside the alcohol-free lineup, making The Stillery an unusual proposition: a multi-spirit producer with craft credentials on both sides of the alcohol divide.

The AF range suits sober-curious drinkers looking for the aromatic depth of a craft-distilled spirit made through traditional copper pot distillation.
