Cheers, Independent Bottlers!

So much of whisky would be unappreciated, unknown, and - shudder - undrunk were it not for these heroes.

We love Independent Bottlers

The indie bottler is the collector, the creator, the presenter, the explorer, and the innovator. They offer us unique and diverse ranges of whisky that go beyond official distillery releases.

Independent bottlers give opportunities. To sample the individuality of a single cask or small-batch whisky. To bear witness to fresh experiments with different ageing techniques and cask types. We access flavours otherwise unavailable through them.

The IB opens up the world of whisky in a way that makes the whole thing bigger and better. And we are forever grateful to them for it.

Come celebrate some of the best of the best with us. Check out savings across the range.

"This Craigellachie whisky is full-bodied, flavour-packed, and bottled at natural strength. Exactly as Craigellachie should be. The distillery’s meaty, muscular style is right at home in this mature single cask beauty."

Berry Bros. & Rudd 12 Year Old Sherry Cask - The Classic Range

From Berry Bros. & Rudd’s superb Classic Range, this 12-year-old Speyside single malt was chosen for its bright, fruity character. An ideal partner for maturation in oloroso sherry butts. The result is a rich, nutty dram that balances sweetness and spice in perfect harmony.

Nc'nean 4 Year Old 2020 - The Heart Cut #12

The first Scotch whisky from The Heart Cut had to be good. So the team picked this organic Nc’nean single malt, which spent four years maturing in a bourbon barrel before finishing in a Madeira cask, giving it a lively, sunlit sweetness. Just 391 bottles exist, all natural colour, no chill filtration. Just honest whisky done right.

Balblair 10 Year Old Single Malt - Living Souls

An expressive Highland single malt bottled by Living Souls after a decade of maturation, including a finishing period in Limousin XO oak octaves. Expect a bold, layered whisky that dances between fresh citrus and warm spice, with the oak lending a rich, leathery depth.

Girvan 40 Year Old 1985 (Master of Malt 40th Anniversary Bottling)

This single grain was distilled the same year Master of Malt was founded. While we grew from a small town mail-order whisky bottler into a titan of the interwebs, this whisky became a rich, well-rounded beauty thanks to its maturation in a refill sherry butt.
