Independent whisky
bottlers & blenders
LAUNCHED 2023. BASED IN LEITH.
SUPER SMALL, VERY INDEPENDENT. A HOME FOR CREATIVE, HANDS-ON WHISKYMAKING.
We are two friends based in Leith making whisky. We release limited outturns of single cask Scotch whiskies and blended malts. Everything from tasting and sourcing to bottling and delivery is done by the two of us.
Now in our third year, we have released over 50 whiskies. Every one is limited, every one features original commissioned artwork from a local artist. We don't release much. When it's gone, it's gone.
LATEST RELEASE
OUTTURN IX
FOUR SHERRY CASKS. ONE WINE BARRIQUE.
Artwork by Ryan Marinello.
-

GLEN ELGIN 11
Re-racked for one year into a Napa Valley Chardonnay barrique, where it took on layers of almond, yellow fruit and ginger.
-

DALMUNACH 7
This provided the mid-palate concentration we felt the cask lacked, and gave a little more aromatic lift, it’s a very complex and inviting dram.
-

GLEN GARIOCH 18
The second oldest whisky in this Outturn. First seventeen years in one Oloroso cask, then re-racked into another for the final year.
-

ISLE OF JURA 20
A single cask of Isle of Jura, twenty years in a refill Oloroso sherry butt. A shy dram at first, it opens with time and rewards patience.
LOCHEND BLEND 4
A lovely base from a cask of Glen Moray we came across, with the addition of some Glenrothes and familiar favourites Highland Park, Tomintoul and Ledaig.
It’s the result of the Lochend Blend’s success and us specifically looking for quality blending ingredients. It’s been really fun growing the blending stock and planning this fourth instalment.
A slightly higher bottle count than previous releases, but that’s all of it until 2027.
NOSE
Baked apples and plump stone fruit, with toasted hazelnuts, milk chocolate and a fresh herbaceous lift.
Palate
Juicy and generous. Toffee apples, milk chocolate buttons, and apple pie over gently charred oak. Classic sherry cask character with real balance.
Finish
Fleshy and comfortable, more juicy apple, then warming through to a gentle peppery send-off.
