Wigman’s Favourites

Exclusive taste and many years of taste experience

Wigman has been tasting at home and abroad for more than 30 years. Michiel shares knowledge and has been building a network for years all over the world. He now also likes to share this passion in connecting taste and knowledge with you. Below you will get to know some of his favourites!

But generally spoken there is not a real favourite. It depends too much on the occasion, the mood you are in and who you are drinking with. Drinking whisky is pure emotion. There are for Michiel three main directions. Bourbon, sherry and peat.

The list below is a short pick from his favourites to show also his reference for the casks he is picking these days for his own bottlings
