Raise a glass to the real ones

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.

Gordon & MacPhail whisky

Gordon & MacPhail is one of the most respected names in the whisky industry. Founded in 1895 in Elgin, Scotland, it has built a legacy as a pioneering whisky maker and independent bottler. The brand set itself apart with its deep relationships in the industry that gave it access to new-make whisky that it would age in its own selected process. Gordon & MacPhail’s rigorous cask selection, respect for tradition, and ability to release some of the oldest and most rare single malts on the market means it has carved a unique space for itself at the forefront of the art of bottling.

"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."

Limited Whisky

Part of the Whisky Partners family, Limited takes a hands-on approach to cask selection, re-racking, and finishing. Every cask is assessed individually, so if it’s not perfect, it’s not bottled. The result? Single casks that speak to connoisseurs and collectors alike. Once they’re gone, they’re truly gone.
