De Verloren Whisky – An Island’s Tribute to the Sea

Some whiskies tell more than just a story of taste – they carry a legacy. The Lost Whisky from Terschelling is one of those rare bottles. It pays tribute to the island’s rich history of beachcombing, where fierce storms not only brought wind and waves but occasionally… whisky.

In 1969, during a heavy storm, dozens of whisky casks washed up on the shores of Terschelling. They came from Scottish and American ships that lost their precious cargo to the sea. Inspired by this tale and his deep passion for whisky, islander Joris Dam created a special blend years later. The goal? A smooth, approachable dram that welcomes newcomers and pleases seasoned enthusiasts alike. A whisky with a story as captivating as its flavor.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Gentle and inviting. Vanilla, honey, and ripe pear blend with a touch of sea breeze and subtle spice.

Palate

Round and mellow. Notes of toffee, baked apple, a whisper of smoke, and light oak make for a well-balanced and easygoing sip.

Finish

Medium in length, with soft butterscotch, a hint of pepper, and a warm memory of the sea. A dram that lingers – just like the legend.
