Workshop location
The workshop is accessible by public transport.
This place is accessible to people with reduced mobility.
The three founders of The Drunken Horse Gin, Tom, Pieter-Jan, and Benoit, began contemplating the distillation of their own gin during a garden party..
Passionate about catering and horses, Tom, ex worker at UNESCO, wanted to bring these concepts together. They decided to transform their old horse trailer into a mobile bar. Now, even their bottles are shaped as a horse foot.
When they decided to pursue this idea, all three of them left their previous jobs to focus on the Drunken Horse project. They experimented with different recipes until they achieved the perfect taste thanks to good friends. The first distillation was made together with the neighbours. Their special touch is influenced by their love for travel and includes an exceptional ingredient.
You will find this small, but successful distillery in Boechout (Vremde), close to Antwerp. They distil, bottle, and label the products in the attic of their family house, and soon in their beautiful renovated barn.
They have earned many awards for their Gin (San Francisco World Spirits Competition Gold medal !). Furthermore, they source everything they need from the local region, including the water used for distillation, the label manufacturer, and the pure alcohol supplier.
All three of them have incredible stories about their travel experiences and love creativity, craftsmanship, and gastronomy.
