Become a co-owner of BUS Whisky
Join our mission
BUS Whisky has a mission: to be the most sustainable whisky producer in the world. Our Single Malt, Single Cask AND Single Estate whisky is distilled on our own farm. Very few single estate whisky distilleries can be found in the world. Single estate means that also the malting barley is grown by the whisky distillery itself. At Bus this is done in an energy-neutral and sustainable way, i.e. without artificial fertilizers and pesticides and with great attention to regenerative agriculture, soil and biodiversity.
Good things come to those who wait...
After 4 years of preparation, the first bottle of BUS Whisky was successfully launched at the end of 2019.
In just three years, BUS grew from a small start-up into one of the leading whisky producers in the Netherlands, achieving international recognition with multiple awards: bronze in San Francisco, several silvers in London, and multiple gold medals globally. At the end of 2021, BUS Whisky also won gold at the Global Green Awards in Hong Kong, earning the title of one of the world’s most sustainable whisky producers—a major milestone.
At the end of 2024, BUS Whisky once again won a prestigious sustainability award, this time in London during The Spirits Business Awards 2024.
This achievement represents the pinnacle of our work so far. BUS Whisky is setting a new global standard for sustainable whisky. And we can use all the help we can get. Whether you invest or enjoy, together we’ll make the world a better place, one drink at a time!
How do you become a co-owner of Bus Whisky?
Bus Whisky started production in 2015, with the first whisky release in late 2019. After initial growth financing through own resources, crowdfunding, and private loans, three successful investment rounds (seed rounds) were conducted in 2022, 2023, and 2024 via the investment platform Broccoli. Through sharefunding, approximately three million euros in growth capital was raised. Additionally, several angel investors joined during this period, gaining voting rights in the BUS Whisky Cooperative U.A., which was established for this purpose.
The management of BUS Whisky is further advised by an Advisory Board. This board includes entrepreneurs and investors from the spirits industry who provide both solicited and unsolicited advice to the company's management.
