Vink is the story of a colourful bunch of men, all with complementary skills. There are 7 of us in total, consisting of two master-distillers, a couple of creatives and traders.
Vink Whisky is distilled in a small city under the smoke of Amsterdam and is a blend of 3, 5 and 7 years malt-spirit aged in Bordeaux & Bourbon barrels. How it tastes: a soft but full whisky with notes of oak, vanilla and a kick of red fruit.
The men of Vink are a diverse team. They have come to know each other in the intimate, but small, world of the ‘Spirits world’. It was at the distillery that the Vink story began to take shape. After 5 years of tasting, waiting and talking, the first batch of Vink is a fact. After reading who they are below, you’ll understand why they are a dream team.

Arthur en Allard
Father and son. Two master distillers with an enormous love for experimentation, sodas and spirits. Arthur is the founder of Distillery the Two-Headed Phoenix en zoon Allard is sinds een aantal jaren bij hem in de leer. Zij hebben aan de wieg gestaan van vele kleine – en inmiddels grotere – merken.
Diederik-Jan
We call him Mr. Bottle, but he prefers to be called Diederik. Over the years, he has supplied many brands and producers with the most beautiful bottles and now also Vink. Diederik can talk for hours about all possible bottles you can find on this planet, and he has a nose for business. Diederik is the founder of allbottles.eu
Mees
Entertainer and photographer. With his contagious enthusiasm, he knows how to capture everyone – no matter how ugly you are. No kidding: At 25 years old, Mees is probably the most talented and experienced cocktail photographer. All major brands want to work with him, but bad luck for them: he is now on our team. Curious about his work: studiomees.com
Huub
Give this man a pencil, a piece of paper, blink your eyes twice and you won’t know what you see. Huub is a true artist and knows how to surprise everyone with his designs and illustrations from his studio in Amsterdam.
Danny
A true Brabander, but he is not averse to moving beyond the rivers for Vink. We gave him the idea of a Whisky and he turned it into Vink. One creative with a taste for powerful concepts. Check: quarterback.nl
Ruben en Sebas
These two men are the brains behind Amsterdam’s most original genever brand: Kever Genever and They now sell Kever in ‘tropical places’ including Taiwan, Italy and Curacao. What really makes these men happy: building brands.
