Michel Reick

The company

The independent bottler Michel Reick, who is also known as the Whisky Druid and is a Whisky Ambassador at Kirsch Import GmbH & Co KG, brings his bottlings to the market as single cask, non-chill-filtered and without colouring. He makes his choices personally and on site in Scotland's whisky regions.

He began his career as a whisky enthusiast and expanded his knowledge and network through numerous visits to distilleries and attending whisky events. In 2013, he decided to take the plunge to become an independent bottler and began acquiring casks from various distilleries, which he then bottled in smaller batches.

Reick focusses on bringing whisky from lesser-known distilleries and special bottlings to the market.

Michel Reick's philosophy is that every whisky should tell its own story. His bottlings therefore come in special cask maturations and with a clear signature that reflects the origin and terroir of the individual whiskies.

He is a true great in the whisky industry.

The range

Michel Reick offers a variety of bottlings that are exciting for both beginners and experienced whisky connoisseurs. The range includes a wide range of single malts from various distilleries that have undergone a wide variety of maturation processes. The single cask bottlings, which are bottled at cask strength and often appear in limited editions, are particularly noteworthy. These offer whisky fans the opportunity to enjoy rare and exceptional vintages.

In addition to single cask bottlings from various Scottish distilleries, he has released the Best Dram, Scotch Universe, The Whisky Druid and The Old Friendseries.
