That Boutique-y Whisky Company is well known for its excellent independent bottlings, and its much adored label artwork designed by Emily Chappell, which is celebrated here as one of Boutique-y's Label Editions! This limited edition 700ml bottle contains a spectacular single grain whisky from the North British distillery that enjoyed a nice long 35-year stay in a refill hogshead. The label features a character seen on previous North British Boutique-y bottlings. He usually looks a bit sinister with his eye patch and white cat, but the lovely lilac background has softened that evil air, so he now looks rather friendly and approachable after all.
A release of 329 bottles.
That Boutique-y Whisky Company bottles limited edition whiskies from a variety of renowned distilleries as well as producing award-winning blends, all adorned with cultish graphic novel-style labels. The brand won Spirits Bottler of the Year at the 2023 Spirits Business Awards, and Blender of the Year went to Sam Simmons, captain of the Boutique-y clan who oversees every one of these releases.
