Product description
The Ultimate Whisky Company is a Dutch company based in Amersfoort.
Founded in 1994 by Han and Maurice van Wees, the company initially specialised in miniature editions. Their whiskies are bottled naturally, without chill filtration, either in cask strength or at 46% ABV. Since 1994, over 1,000 editions have been released under the ‘Ultimate’ banner.
