De Borgen casks:
At the foundation of our De Borgen cask series lies carefully selected grain distillates. Ranging from a traditional blend of wheat, rye, and corn to a distillate made from 100% Groningen barley. Distilled in copper stills and aged in wooden casks, these distillates can be called Whisky after maturing for 3 years and 1 day. For the distillation of the grain distillates and cask aging, we rely on the long tradition and craftsmanship of Hooghoudt Family Distillery from Groningen. They have mastered this craft since their founding in 1888.

The cask-aged versions of the De Borgen cask series have already undergone maturation in ex-Sherry Oloroso casks. These unique casks, sourced from Spain, are selected from the cask storage of Hooghoudt Family Distillery. Our third variant, the New Make (also known as White Dog), is distilled in the copper stills of Hooghoudt Family Distillery in the north of Groningen. The New Make is distilled with 100% Groningen grain from local farmers in the area.

"To see a grain distillate develop in flavor during aging is something magical. Often, delightful characteristic flavor notes emerge from a cask. These flavors enrich the grain distillate that went into it, and that is precisely what you, as a distiller, create this base liquid for."
- Robin van der Bij, Master Distiller Hooghoudt
