Single malt scotch whisky and jazz music are Rick van Diepen's passions.

Rick has been a whisky enthusiast since the 2005, when he did an exchange program in Edinburgh. He joined the University's whisky society and visited distilleries across Scotland. Caol Ila distillery was his favourite. So that's exactly where he started, when he launched his own Independent Bottler label, Single Note Whisky, with a single cask Caol Ila release (you can read Ed's review of Single Note's Caol Ila here).

Hot on the heels of his extremely successful first release, Rick has recently launched two new whiskies. He has another single cask Caol Ila, this time 12 years old and bourbon matured. And, a single cask Port Dundas 11 year old finished in a first fill PX quarter cask.
