Liquid restrictions at Schipol Airport
Good evening,
I have a question concerning restrictions on liquids at Schipol Airport.
When I flew from Schipol last time back in 2020, I do remember I was carrying a big bottle of water.
The website of the airport mentions the 100 ml but I was told it's mainly guidance to avoid issues to passengers having a layover somewhere else. It appears passengers can carry liquids, even big bottles, and if there are doubts about the content, there are additional checks. I'm asking as I would like to carry a bottle of whiskey in my cabin luggage. It's a present.
Has anyone carried any bottle of wine/whiskey from Schipol in the past?
Many thanks

There are no liquid restrictions in Schiphol for a while now as all security checkpoints has been fitted with new scanners several years ago, you can possibly find the thread about it in the KLM forum.
The only exception is metal bottles (i.e. thermal water bottles), these have to be emptied out which is somewhat new restriction in the last couple of months or so, no problem with plastic/glass bottles or cans etc.

As to AMS, I also had the same info. Today I've also given a call to the airport and was told that in the worst case scenario, security can further scan my bottles under another scanner but otherwise no restrictions .

In the permitted section:

They only started 'enforcing' / 'asking' if the bottle is empty a few months ago so not really sure what changed, I flew many times from Schiphol with a full thermal bottle before it and no issues.

Regular Schiphol user - any size clear bottle (glass or plastic) seems to be fine. I've seen them telling many people to pour out their metal bottles, but my children travel with smallish (~250ml) metal water bottles and have never been asked to empty those. Not sure if it's the size of the bottle or the size of the passenger that makes the difference.

They claim that their scanner can't see inside it, although it can clearly determine if it's empty or not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
