The Stillery Amsterdam Spelt Whisky - Single Grain, Lightly Peated

Spelt is our thing. Our very first product, back in 2015, was a vodka made from spelt, and we never got over it. So when we started making whisky, the question wasn't whether spelt would go in. Just how much.

THAT'S WHERE THE FLAVOUR IS

This is a single grain whisky made from spelt, with a little peated barley for the smoke. We don't filter the grain out and we give it a long fermentation. Then it matures in ex-bourbon casks and gets a finish in Moscatel casks, which once held sweet Moscatel wine. Here too, we waited more than three years. In Dutch we say "geduld is een schone zaak": patience is a fine thing.

JUSTICE CHOSE THIS ONE TOO

The label carries the same Lady Justice as our rye. She weighs everything that calls itself whisky, and this one landed on the right side of her scales too: a true Amsterdam whisky, distilled and matured in our distillery in the harbour. Justice is served.

DATES, LEATHER AND A WHIFF OF PEAT

Dried dates, apricot and peach, a whiff of peat, leather, honey, marzipan and raisins. Approachable, fruity, and just enough smoke to keep you curious.

SHORT OR LONG

Neat: 35 ml in a tumbler, at room temperature, with a few drops of water if you like.

Weeknight highball: 40 ml Spelt Whisky, 120 ml cold soda, plenty of ice and a strip of lemon peel.
