De Lepelaar is a craft distillery located on the island of Texel, in the Netherlands. Named after the spoonbill — a graceful wading bird that is emblematic of the Wadden Sea region — the distillery draws its identity from the unique natural environment of this UNESCO World Heritage area. It is part of Texelse Distilleerderij, a producer rooted in the island's character and its connection to the surrounding Wadden Sea landscape. De Lepelaar's whisky portfolio reflects a strong sense of place. Their flagship expression is a Single Wadden Sea Peated Malt Whisky, aged three years, which carries a light peat character that distinguishes it from many other Dutch whiskies. The use of the term 'Wadden Sea' in the name underscores the distillery's pride in its coastal origins and the terroir of the island. The whisky is crafted as a single malt style spirit, bringing together local inspiration and traditional malt whisky production methods.
