The distillery, located inside an ancient farmhouse in the countryside of Groningen in the north east of Netherlands, produces Jenever and traditional Dutch liqueurs. Kalkwijck is the first family-run artisan distillery in Holland: a farm that has been producing rye, wheat, corn, potatoes for over 200 years and supplies a consortium of craft breweries in the region with barley.
Since 2009, the Benus family, owner of the land, has decided to supplement its business by creating a distillery, in which only the ingredients grown in their fields were used. Lisanne is the passionate young Master Distiller of the Kalkwijck Distillery. A growing distillery thanks to the creativity and competence of its managers and the excellent level of its liqueurs and spirits. The production plant consists of three 1100lt and two 600lt fermenters, two 2500 and 2600lt mash tuns and three Kothe stills exclusively dedicated to different distillates. Kalkwijck is the first family-run artisan distillery in the Netherlands: a farm that has been producing rye, wheat, corn, potatoes and barley for over 200 years.

Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
