1942 - O.L.V. Square Mijlbeke - Aalst

Mr. René De Smedt was a wine merchant and liqueur maker on the O.L.V.-plein in Aalst. He imported barrels of wine directly from France, after which they were displayed on the square to determine the view. In this distillery this inventive man created a regional recipe for the city of Aalst, the 'Elixir d'Alost'; A powerful and delicious health liqueur of 35° full of alc.
This popular herbal liqueur, typical for Oilsjt, was traded for years, but unfortunately after René's death, the company was closed down and this drink disappeared... or didn't it?
René's great-grandchildren found a last original full bottle of Elixir d'Alost in their grandmother's wine cellar. After taste analysis in a lab, this drink could be brought back to life in its original state and since then everyone can enjoy this piece of nostalgia again. The guaranteed quality is due to the natural, valuable herbs and the respected process of maceration, distillation, filtering, maturation and careful filling!
