The first company dedicated to whisky from European distilleries - www.eurowhiskey.eu . Tastings, sales (B2B/B2C), writing. NL-based
Of course, I also made a video from my visit to Destillerie Haider, the first Austrian whiskymakers

A few photos and clips didn't save properly to my phone sadly, but I hope you'll agree it still gives a great impression of a fascinating #EuropeanWhisky distillery

This is a distillery which I can confidently say has a distinct whisky terroir - using local grain, oak, and peat for 30 years really helps hone the style!

After an altitude-climbing drive from Linz (thanks Jasmin!), I got to explore the Waldviertler Whisky JH range, including 18 year old drams, smoked expressions and dark rye, plus some lovely food

Sorry to share some bad news - I've had to cancel this week's trip to Italy 🇮🇹
A lot of issues came up - with distillery visits, even the Belgian Whisky Fair I was due to visit on the way back - and these tastings with @distilleriastradaferrata and @whiskytoyou / @onthesauceagain have to be cancelled

Tastings in Italy!

If you're around Milan/Seregno or Firenze on 20/21 November respectively, we'll bring you exciting European whiskies and a new release from Italian distillery Strada Ferrata! 🇮🇹

Florentine locals Matteo and Inka will also be joining me at Renny Club to showcase these whiskies 👍

3. It Doesn't Matter where Water comes from 💦

Pure mountain springs, what's not to love? But almost every distillery uses reverse osmosis, as the softest water is ideal for distilling

Even adding unfiltered water for dilution, a few mgs of minerals in there = a pinch of salt in a swimming pool

most distilleries have no connection to peat besides the fact their owners like Scotch whisky!

Again, its more interesting and sustainable to use local material to smoke your whisky... Kyrö 🇫🇮 and Fary Lochan 🇩🇰 are surely the best examples of this, but Moon Harbour deserve some notice too 🇫🇷
November 11, 2025 at 1:06 PM
Examples of people really doing this right include Thy 🇩🇰, Tchankat / Eddu 🇫🇷, Blackwater 🇮🇪, Arbikie 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

2. Most Smoked Whiskies Shouldn't be Peated 🔥
Peat is great, but it's a very specific material and (functionally) non-renewable. Its long history in Scotland and Ireland is specific -

1. Single Malts Shouldn't be the Default! 🌾
Single malt is popular for good reason, but once you look beyond Scotland, barley isn't the only choice!

If you want local, sustainable grain, people should consider locally sourced wheat, corn, rye. Why have 00s of distilleries produce the same style?!

After 3 years of EuroWhiskying (not to mention the years before in Scotland), I've had a few thoughts which still get surprised reactions - so I wanted to explain some of these 'hot takes' online!

Let me know what you think, of course 😉

- Kulo (100% sherry, hooger ABV)

- Palo (turf en sherry samen)

This summer, I finally got to visit courtesy of Veera Pastinen !

One of the oldest European distilleries, a 'first generation' with a lot of Scottish inspiration but also unique Finnish twists. Lots of tasting, history, and production details - read on to find out more (over 18s only, of course 🔞)
