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 at 46% ABV. Since 1994, over 1,000 whiskies have been released under the "The Ultimate" banner.
