Product description
The Ultimate Whisky Company is a Dutch company based in Amersfoort. Founded in 1994 by Han and Maurice van Wees, it initially specialised in miniature editions.
Their whiskies are bottled without chill filtration, either cask strength or 46% ABV. Since 1994, over 1,000 whisky editions have been released under the "The Ultimate" banner. The Whitlaw presented here is a whisky distilled on September 24, 2014 and aged in a re-charred butt cask (no. 426) for over 7 years. Bottled at 46% ABV in March 2022 in an edition of 694 bottles. Whitlaw Hills are the hills behind Highland Park Distillery, so the origin of this whisky seems clear.
