CULTIVATION

At Botan Distillery, we carefully select premium, one-of-a-kind ingredients to craft rich, gastronomic flavors. Our journey begins with nurturing herbs in our optimal terroir, a crucial step that transcends conventional methods of flavor production. Here, the artistry lies in cultivation.
OUR PROCESS

HARVESTING

Nestled in the Belgian terroir, The secret Chefs Garden in Boechout, we handpick our fresh herbs. By overseeing the growth and harvesting process ourselves, we ensure the optimal development of our herbs' full flavor profiles.
OUR PROCESS

DISTILLATION

Following harvest, we distill both fresh and dried flowers, herbs, and plants individually. Each herb requires a customized approach, with careful consideration given to different cuts during distillation sessions.
OUR PROCESS

BLENDING

As we rely on terroir and seasonal variations, our recipes are continuously refined to capture our signature flavors. Our blends evolve seasonally and annually, ensuring a consistently unique and familiar taste experience.
OUR PROCESS

MATURATION

Botan Distillery's creations are 100% natural. Once our single distillates are blended, they undergo a minimum 30-day resting period. During this maturation process, thousands of molecules interact, enhancing the roundness and depth of flavor.

"When you sip, you first taste notes of tarragon, mint and basil. Then a sweet honey note, that gives body. Finally nice acidity that makes a sour cocktail so irresistible...."

DE STANDAARD

"Bôtan Distillery works magic with spices: alcohol-free, but bold, flavourful and 100% natural."
