About the producer
The Filliers Grain Distillery is set in the charming East-Flanders village of Bachte-Maria-Leerne (near Deinze, Belgium), secluded amongst the vast grasslands and grain fields on the banks of the Leie river. For several generations the finest jenevers have been produced on this production site. The earliest germs of this traditional distillery go back to 1880.
In that year, Kamiel Fillers was granted a license to establish a distillery on his farm.So, he produced a delicious jenever in the winter from the grain varieties he cultivated in the summer.
Meanwhile, more than a century has passed and some things have changed. But not that much after all.
Today, both the distillery and the family secret are in the good hands of the 5th generation of this distiller’s family. Today, craftsmanship, tradition and traditional methods are considered of paramount importance.Therefore, Filliers swears by in-house production and all stages of the production process are passed through inside the distillery, which makes Filliers unique. Indeed, the process in the distillery starts with the unground corn and ends with filling up the bottles. So, indeed, from the grain to the glass.
What did change over the years? First of all: the product range:
in addition to the authentic grain jenevers, Filliers now alsooffers a vast range of fruit jenevers, cream jenevers and liquors, as well as Goldlys Belgian Whisky and vodka Van Hoo.
The production line was also adapted to all modern quality standards. Yet, without losing track of tradition. So, by keeping pace with time, Filliers now produces a traditional product, while it is in all aspects ready to face the future.
