Whisky van de Lage Landen | Wieger Favier

Whisky van de Lage Landen by Wieger Favier is a richly illustrated whisky book about a young, fast-growing and surprisingly diverse whisky world: that of the Netherlands and Belgium. The book shows that whisky is no longer only made in Scotland, Ireland, Japan or the United States.

Favier takes readers to more than twenty distilleries in the Low Countries. From pioneers to young experimental makers, each profile shows how local conditions, ingredients, casks, climate and entrepreneurship contribute to a distinctive whisky identity.

The book covers not only the people behind the distilleries, but also the production process. Malting, fermentation, distillation, cask selection, finishing and maturation are explored, alongside regulations and the practical challenges of making whisky in the Netherlands and Belgium.

Flavour also receives strong attention. Tasting notes and flavour profiles help readers recognise what makes Dutch and Belgian whiskies distinctive: from fruity single malts and spicy cask maturation to local wine-cask finishes and small-scale craft spirits.

Whisky van de Lage Landen is a valuable reference work for whisky lovers who want to look beyond the classic whisky countries. A strong book for anyone curious about the makers, flavours and future of whisky from the Netherlands and Belgium.
