The Dutch firm Van Wees has been in the wine and spirits business since 1921. How they ended up in the whisky world is a great story that also starts in that year with a sunken ship in the port of Rotterdam. Years later, Van Wees started their own bottlings in the series 'The Ultimate Single Malt Scotch Whisky Selection', simply The Ultimate. Since then, more than 1200 bottlings have appeared under that label. The company always tries to keep its bottles affordable.
In 2003 Edradour released under the name Ballechin their first whisky distilled from peated barley malt. A smoky single malt whisky. For the series The Ultimate Van Wees bottled this 10-year-old Ballechin. It matured in a large sherry cask. Bottled at 46%
This Caol Ila single malt whisky matured for 16 years, the last two years of which in a 1st-fill Oloroso sherry cask. This is clearly visible in the colour. Bottler Van Wees, therefore, released the malt in the series The Ultimate-Sherry Cask Finish. 46%
What can we say? Every year around this time, Van Wees comes with a Saint & Peat bottling of a peated Islay single malt whisky. They are always young single malts, so the price can be pleasantly limited. A Dutch festivity right before Christmas! (55%)
Bottler Van Wees always tries to keep the price of its The Ultimate bottlings manageable, like this 12-year-old Linkwood single malt whisky. It first matured in a bourbon cask and was finished for 21 months in an Oloroso cask. (56.8%)
The unique purifiers on the stills at Glen Spey Distillery create a light, delicate single malt whisky. Despite this, this whisky has always been under-exposed. Discover it at a great price with this 16-year-old, sherried bottling by Van Wees. (46%)

Bottler Van Wees always tries to release their bottlings in an affordable price range. But if you can bottle a 30-year-old Glenturret single malt whisky, well, then you will end up in a somewhat higher price segment. Matured on bourbon and at 46.5%.
Tullibardine Distillery has been around for three-quarters of a century but has only been running at full capacity since 2008, including its own bottlings. But this is a Van Wees bottling. The single malt whisky aged for 15 years in a bourbon cask. (46%)
