Talents of Spirits Collection: A Historic Collaboration for Europe's Premier Whisky

Dear whisky lovers,

It is with great pride that we present to you the story behind the creation of our first European whisky, the fruit of an unprecedented and daring collaboration. To create this exceptional whisky, we brought together two world-renowned master distillers: Patrick VAN ZUIDAM from the Netherlands and Etienne BOUILLON from Belgium. This unique partnership has pushed back the boundaries of the art of whisky making, opening up a new era for spirits lovers.

The Alliance of Masters

Patrick VAN ZUIDAM and Etienne BOUILLON share a deep friendship and mutual respect, which were essential to the success of this ambitious project. Their respective specialities - rye for Patrick and malt for Etienne - have harmoniously blended to create a whisky of unrivalled depth and complexity. Together, they have taken up the challenge of reinventing the whisky experience, offering whisky lovers an unprecedented discovery.

Meet the Masters :

Etienne BOUILLON
A disciple of the legendary Jim Mac Ewan, Etienne is a pioneer of Belgian whisky. 20 years ago, he created Belgium's first whisky. His attachment to terroir and his mastery of malted barley have been rewarded with over 100 gold medals at the prestigious Mondial des Spiritueux, Monde Sélection and World Whisky Awards competitions. Three times voted "Best Whisky in Europe", Etienne reached the pinnacle of his career in 2023 with the distinction of "5th Best Whisky in the World" in Jim MURRAY's Whisky Bible.

Patrick VAN ZUIDAM
Since 1996, Patrick has been creating exceptional whiskies, produced in the traditional way in his family-run business, one of the last remaining independents in the Netherlands. His love of rye has earned him the title of "Best Rye Whisky" for three consecutive years (2021-2022-2023). He has also twice been crowned "Best Distiller of the Year" at the World Whisky Awards. His commitment to quality and innovation has made him a leading figure in European whisky.


A Revolution in the World of Whisky

By joining forces, Patrick VAN ZUIDAM and Etienne BOUILLON have not only created a whisky of exceptional quality, they have also redefined what it means to be a master distiller in Europe. Their work together is an invitation to all whisky lovers to discover a new dimension of this spirit, at the crossroads of Belgian and Dutch traditions.
