Whisky Tours in the Netherlands: Our Top 4

1.Eindhoven: Bottle Distillery Tour and Tasting Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 74 reviews · 1 hour · from $26Our pick

Spend one hour at Eindhoven’s Bottle Distillery learning how rum, gin, brandy, liqueur, and vodka are made. An English-speaking guide such as Mark, Marek, Anita, or Annie explains the small-batch process beside the copper-helmeted pot still. You then choose three spirits to taste, often with cocktails or a cheese and cracker snack.

“What a hidden gem in Eindhoven! The tour was very informative. As a batch of gin was being distilled I got to see the distilling process in action. The tasting room has a nice atmosphere, the three tastes were generously poured and the cocktails were outstanding. Our guide and barista, Annie, was excellent! I highly recommend this tasting experience.”
