Whiskey dream ends tragically: distiller unexpectedly dies
April 16, 2024
Sad news seeped into our mailbox last weekend. René Kamphuis, the founder and owner of DelRey Distillery, recently passed away unexpectedly. This is confirmed by his wife Jasmine Taraporewalla. We previously wrote about the Dutch distillery, after a message suddenly appeared on Facebook that the distillery would remain closed until further notice due to unforeseen circumstances. His wife informed Whiskey Monkeys that Kamphuis, whom she describes as a very kind-hearted person, died in November. He leaves behind her and one child. He was 47 years old. 'The loss of René has had a huge impact on our family and the distillery. He was the driving force and soul behind our company. Without his vision and dedication, my 19-year-old son and I feel unable to continue the distillery. That is why we have made the difficult decision to liquidate DelRey Distillery.' Last year, Kamphuis started the next step in his distillery: making whisky. Unfortunately, that was not to be the case.

And at most one in a hundred athletes examined should have an ultrasound examination of the heart. Noack speaks of Adrian Lehmann as a "brutally tragic event".
