About Bus
"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, such as the well in Handel, which attracts many pilgrims and believers every year. And the Willibrordus well in Oss, which is said to have been blessed by St. Willibrord. Wisdom wells carry with them a rich history. In the hamlet of Bus in Nistelrode, the whiskey distillery's water source is located in the yard of the farm where owners Dennis Hurkmans & Ezra Leeger live and where the malting barley for Bus Whisky is also grown.
Bus Whisky won medals at the London Spirits Competition in London (2x silver) and the USA Spirits Ratings in San Francisco (bronze) as well as the China Wine & Spirit Competition (gold) and the Asian Wine & Spirit competition (good) in addition to a gold sustainability medal in Hong Kong in 2021.
Dennis recently made a podcast with change guru Yousri Mandour. "𝐀𝐥𝐬 𝐣𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐭 𝐣𝐚𝐚𝐫 1 𝐩𝐨𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐭, 𝐥𝐚𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐭 𝐝𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐣𝐞𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐟𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐳𝐞 𝐳𝐢𝐣𝐧!" says Yousri. In the podcast, he asks him shirtless about the genesis of Bus Whisky - with all the associated trial and error. Listen to this entire episode of the Strategy of the Lobster podcast here:
