Single Cask

About

The Alkmaarse Singel Malt is a local bottling from De Whisky Specialist in Alkmaar, carried forward with pride since May 2025 by father-and-son team Remi and Yannick Caron, who share a passion for distinctive spirits. This single cask expression was bottled at 46% and represents a unique bridge between Dutch craftsmanship and Scottish whisky heritage. The whisky matured first in a refill ex-bourbon cask, followed by a finish in first fill ex-bourbon wood. This two-stage cask approach builds depth and refinement without overwhelming the spirit with aggressive new oak character. On the palate, notes of vanilla, salted caramel, smoke, almond, white pepper, gently roasted coffee and nutmeg emerge in sequence. The finish carries malt forward, anchoring the experience in the spirit's grain foundation. A whisky that honours its Scottish roots while telling a distinctly Dutch story.
