WHO ARE WE?
Gertjan
Hi my name is Gertjan “Gurt” and am 45 years old. During my day job I’m a lieutenant commander in his majesty’s navy and the rest of the day I’m an independent bottler of Scotch whisky, a dad and a family man. In my time as independent bottler I’ve created over 30 bottles in 4 years and own over 250 whisky casks in Scotland, Ireland and now in the USA! Talking with my friend Whitney we found a mutual hobby: whiskey! We met during my dive trainings and we share the hold by f diving and Whiskey. We have had long conversations when we share our tasting moments we started, dreaming and creating a common dream! To become an independent bottler company in the US, where we work closely with companies and whiskey loving Americans to create awsome single cask whiskey of bourbon. To accomplish this we cooperate and work with the finest distilleries in all of the United States of America.
Whitney
Hi, I'm Whitney. I’m a 30-something American woman, living my best life on a small island in the southern Caribbean. There are many things I could tell you about who I am, and why, but SCUBA diving is the string that holds my story together. After getting my Open Water Certification in 2007, diving became a vacation habit for me. Throughout that time, I explored careers in retail, business to business sales, law, finance, and non-profit management. But I yearned to be on a plane, traveling somewhere, anywhere I hadn't been before. In January 2018, I moved to Thailand to pursue a decade old dream of becoming a dive instructor. A year later, I moved to Curacao, still chasing my dreams of teaching, diving, and traveling. One thing I truly enjoy is helping people connect. A shared passion is a sure fire way to develop a lasting bond. Thanks to my good friend Gert, I’ve developed an appreciation of craft whiskey, and I am thoroughly enjoying becoming a part of this community.
