Wigman Whiskies 'They Inspired' with Michiel Wigman of Dutch Whisky Connection

VIRTUAL EVENT

Set yourself up at home on October 6 with 6 x 15ml samples from The Netherlands most famed whisky collector and retailer, as we go live with Michiel Wigman of the Dutch Whisky Connection! Legendary collector and purveyor of single malt whisky (known to many as Mr. Springbank), the name 'Dutch Whisky Connection' has been connected to Michiel Wigman for around 20 years. Originally a whisky club and a well-known stand boasting old and rare bottles at whisky festivals (together with Bert Vuik), now Michiel has launched his own independent bottling line, 'They Inspired,' which is currently in its second outturn.

Last year’s ‘They Inspired’ was themed around political leaders, and it appears this year’s theme is Jazz musicians, or musicians in general. But why guess when we can ask Michiel Wigman himself? Join us live on October 6 as we taste 4 whiskies from the 'They Inspired' 2020 collection, and two from the current 2021 collection - including one of the two oldest Ardmores ever bottled (32 years old!).
