On Thursday, March 26, we invite you to a special whisky tasting at the familiar and atmospheric location of Sociëteit De Dieu in Alkmaar . This time the evening is all about independent bottlers The explorers of the whisky world. Houses that chart their own course, choose based on flavor and character, and often bottle surprising gems you don't encounter every day.

The tasting will once again be led by Marcel Bol of Whisky Import Nederland . With his infectious passion and wealth of knowledge, he'll take you behind the labels and share his insights into the choices, origins, and philosophy of independent bottlers. Stories that will deepen your dram and enrich your understanding of whisky. An evening for enthusiasts who like to look beyond the standard bottles Warm, deepening and full of discoveries.
In-Store Tasting | Irish Whiskey – Saturday, July 25 On Saturday afternoon, July 25, the store will be all about Ireland. From 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM, at De Whisky Specialist (Dijk 25, Alkmaar), you can taste a selection of Irish whiskies that show how versatile the green island is: from smooth, triple-distilled classics to surprising single pot stills and special cask finishes.

During this informal afternoon, you'll discover why Ireland is once again at the top. We will be pouring, among others (Fercullen, Currach, Clonakilty, Teeling, McConnels). Feel free to drop by, grab a dram, and be surprised. Sláinte!
Whisky tasting: the House of Morrison – five generations of whisky tradition Thursday 22 October This autumn, we delve into the story of one of Scotland's oldest whisky families: the Morrisons. For five generations, they have been breaking, blending, bottling, and distilling the finest Scotch whiskies — from the renowned Bowmore years to their own distillery today. During this tasting, we will sample the full spectrum of the house: Old Perth – the blended malt that honours the cradle of blending, fully matured in sherry casks. Round, rich, and surprisingly approachable. Mac-Talla – "echo" in Gaelic, and a tribute to the family's ties with Islay. Peated, powerful single malts with character. Aberargie – the latest chapter: their own "barley-to-bottle" distillery on the family estate near Perth, where whisky has been maturing with patience and craftsmanship since 2017. What's special: this evening we will be tasting new releases from both Mac-Talla and Aberargie — whiskies that are fresh on the market and not yet widely available. A unique opportunity to be among the first to experience what this whisky family has to offer. Sign up for an evening full of stories, history, and, of course, excellent whisky.

The difference between a great whisky gift and a bottle that collects dust? Three simple questions before you buy.
June 10, 2026
It's a small difference, but it says a lot. Do you spell whisky or whiskey? That single letter reveals more than you think: a bit of history, a different distilling method, and a distinct identity in taste and style.

When you come across lesser-known names like Càrn Mòr or North Star, you're likely looking at independent bottlers. Unlike distilleries, they select unique casks and bottle them under their own label. Often non-chill filtered, natural in color, and cask strength, these whiskies offer a rare and authentic glimpse into the diversity of Scotch whisky.
