Frequently asked questions about whisky
Where can I buy whisky in Utrecht?
At Daan’s Drinks on the Vismarkt 2, right by the Dom Tower. We stock whisky from Scotland, Ireland, the US, Japan, India and the Netherlands, including independent bottlings from Claxton’s, James Eadie and Uncharted Whisky Co. Come in to choose, or order online and collect your order with Click & Collect.
What is an independent bottling?
A whisky bought by the cask from a distillery and bottled by a specialist bottler, often at natural strength and from a single cask. You get rare expressions you won’t find under the distillery’s own label, like James Eadie’s cask-strength Laphroaig 10.
Do you sell Dutch whisky?
Yes, for example Frysk Hynder from the Us Heit distillery in Friesland, often called the first Dutch single malt.
Is whisky a good gift?
Definitely. From Redbreast and Blanton’s to a rare single cask, we’ll help you pick a bottle that suits the person, and we’re happy to gift-wrap it.
Can I taste whisky before I buy?
Yes. In the shop, if we have a bottle open, we’re happy to let you taste before you choose, and at our tastings you can try several styles side by side.
