Whisky Bible Single Cask Scotch of the Year!

Our Macallan 25 Year Old has been named Single Cask Scotch of the Year in Jim Murray's 2017 Whisky Bible!

The big winners in Jim Murray's annual Whisky Bible have been revealed today and we're bursting with excitement as our fifth batch of Macallan single malt has been named Scotch Single Malt of the Year (Single Cask)! A tremendous 25 Year Old whisky recognised as Jim Murray's celebrates 25 years as a full-time whisky writer.

If you can't track one of these beauties down, check out our latest batch of Macallan - a 29 year old - available from fine retailers now. Off-trade/on-trade enquiries should be directed to our UK distributor, Maverick Drinks.

The Interdimensional Boilermaker

We’ve got a brand new batch of Macduff single malt, and let you in on a secret about one of Shakespeare’s most notorious plays.

Today we’re very happy to show you our latest batch of Macduff - now with an age statement! This one is an 11 year old single malt boasting notes of apricot-filled pastries and spoonfuls of honey. If you look at the label, you’ll once again see a deleted scene one of Shakespeare’s rather violent plays (though perhaps not quite as violent as Titus Andronicus - ooh, get us with our clever references and that).

Macduff is enjoying a Boilermaker with a pretty confused-looking chap, discussing his plans for later in the evening. You might be surprised to see what beer Macduff is enjoying his dram of Macduff whisky alongside. How did he get his hands on that?! Three simple words: Interdimensional Phase Shifting (OK, maybe we should have said one fairly complicated word and two somewhat more straightforward words). Macduff is able to travel to other fictional universes, swipe what he wants and bring it back to his world. However, this didn’t have any influence on the rest of the story, so Shakespeare decided to leave this scene on the cutting room floor.

Our bottling of 11 year old Macduff will be available from fine retailers soon. Off-trade/on-trade enquiries should be directed to our UK distributor, Maverick Drinks.

Blends, Bourbon and Bavarian Whisky

Take a peek at our four new releases, including a new bourbon from the folks at FEW, our first bottling of Bavarian whisky and two new blends!

Want to know what the future could hold for your tasting glasses? It very well could be some of our brand new releases! We’ve got four of them to show you - so let's get stuck in and explore potential futures for inanimate objects.

First up is, in fact, a first for us - our first bottling of Bavarian single malt whisky! This is a 3 year old single malt from the Slyrs Distillery in Schliersee, and you can see the Head Distiller Hans on the label! He’s in a beer hall from the Oktoberfest, which houses a big boat where a band plays! Where better to drink tasty Bavarian whisky and hang out with an… Inconspicuous crocodile?!

Next up is our second bottling of bourbon from FEW Spirits in Evanston, Illinois. Interestingly, this one is a smoked bourbon, obvious from the sweet BBQ smoke notes that waft through it - and the dramatic scene happening on the label!

We’ve put our blending hats back on and created two new whiskies! This one right here is our second batch of Blended Whisky #2, which has been made using whiskies that were aged for at least 18 years. Just like Blended Whisky #1, there’s a disembodied glove in space - however, instead of a big, smooth sphere, the glove is stroking a massive, soft planetoid. 

Last but by no means least, we’ve got the very first batch of Blended Whisky #3 - a 23 year old expression! There’s no chrome sphere this time, but in its place is a length of chrome stretching far off into space. It just keeps going and going and going and going. Metaphors? Metaphors. Delicious metaphors.

These handsome rascals are available from fine retailers now. Off-trade/on-trade enquiries should be directed to our UK distributor, Maverick Drinks.
