Welcome to the world's most sustainable whisky
In 2019, BUS Whisky proudly entered the Dutch whisky scene as a fresh and bold brand. In just three years, we have grown from a modest Brabant start-up to the second largest whisky producer in the Netherlands, and we have earned our place as one of the world's most sustainable distilleries. We are thrilled that Bus Whisky is a Certified B Corporation! Our commitment is to use business as a force for good.
"BUS Whisky" is named after the distillery's water source. For thousands of years, the Peelrand fault has formed a natural formation of pointing water sources in eastern Brabant. In the hamlet of Bus in Nistelrode, the whisky distillery's water source is located on the farm where the malting barley for BUS Whisky is also grown.
- Single Estate Whisky: We distill the whisky on our own farm, and our malting barley is grown sustainably around our farm without artificial fertilizers or pesticides and with flowery field margins. This small-scale, artisanal approach ensures a pure and exclusive taste. At Bus we guarantee farm-to-bottle perfection. Each release is a limited edition.
- A unique origin: Named after the hamlet of 'Bus' in Nistelrode, we draw our water from a rare point source, enriched with unique minerals thanks to the geological phenomenon of the Peelrand fault that has defined the landscape around the hamlet of Bus for tens of thousands of years.
- From grain to shot sustainable: Our whiskies are produced with a passion for sustainability in every process step. We believe in "zero waste," from regenerative farming, an eco-friendly seal of varnish on our bottles made from beeswax from our own apiary, making alcohol-free beer from the left-overs after firing, to energy-efficient production processes with solar panels and heat pumps, we strive to minimize our carbon footprint. We care for the earth that gives us those beautiful grains for our whiskey every year.
- Art and Whisky: Each label is a work of art, designed by renowned designers and artists and inspired by our roots.
- Top quality barrels: Our whiskey is mostly aged in first fill bourbon and sherry casks. We personally travel to Scotland and Spain to select the best barrels.
- Pure Nature: We apply non-chill filtration and use no additives, so Bus Whisky retains its authentic flavors and each batch is unique.
We have received international awards, including prizes in San Francisco, London, China, and Hong-Kong. Although our whisky is still young, our vision is clear: to produce the best and most sustainable whisky in the world.
