Wallonia, the French-speaking region in the south of Belgium, is gradually making a name for itself in the whisky world, with an artisanal approach that is catching the attention of connoisseurs. Heavily influenced by its rich brewing heritage and unique terroir, Wallonia provides a temperate climate and varied geography, from the Ardennes to river valleys, conducive to growing quality ingredients. Walloon distilleries often adopt traditional production methods while innovating with various oak cask finishes, often sourced from their renowned wine production. Additionally, the use of pure, local water, a natural asset of the region, contributes to crafting whisky that is both rich and refined. This artisanal expertise and attention to detail result in distinctive whiskies with complex and varied flavour profiles, ranging from fruity and floral notes to more spicy and peaty expressions. For whisky enthusiasts looking to diversify their collection, Wallonia presents itself not only as a European alternative rich with promise but as an emerging player to watch closely in the world of artisanal whisky.
