Springbank arrivals

Nowadays it is hard to get stock of the core range products of Springbank Distillery.

Is this due to the sudden popularity of this operating ‘museum like’ distillery, the ripple effect of the Covid-crisis , the impact of the war in Ukrain or just the effects of the enormously efficient Brexit arrangement?

Anyways we have some core range products in and a limited release.

Click the bottle of your liking to order.

Glendronach Grandeur Batch 11 – pre-order

Since 2010, Glendronach has been bottling the famous “Grandeur” series, which is more than popular with enthusiasts.

This year, Master Blender Rachel Barrie selected a few barrels of Oloroso Sherry to create this Batch 11, a 28 year old whisky.

We don’t know yet how many bottles we will receive, but it will be very limited., so we cannot guarantee that you will receive the desired, pre-ordered bottle.

Rosebank Unity

The penultimate bottle in the Rosebank Roses series, Unity – the sixth entry – is again a combination of bourbon and Madeira casks, specially selected to add layers of sweetness and spice to the classic Rosebank Lowland grassy meadow character. A look back in time to a style of whisky no longer produced in Scotland and which is, like Rosebank itself, much missed.

Push the image to order.

The Rosebank distillery was situated in Camelon on the banks of the Forth and Clyde canal between Edinburgh and Glasgow. Its name originated after the roses which grew along the side of the canal.

Rosebank was once considered one of the premier lowland whiskies but United Distillers mothballed the distillery in 1993.  The reason given for the mothballing was that its effluent treatment would have required a £2m upgrade in order to comply with European standards of the time, this did not make it commercially viable. At the time of its closure, it still retained many historical features in the production of the whisky.

Wolfburn Ukraine Edition: raise a glass to …

Wolfburn Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal

If you know us, you know we think that whisky is made for drinking not collecting. A charity in our opinion is there to support whatever the good cause might be.

Wolfburn wants to raise £25,000 for the Ukrainian Humanitarian Relief Fund to benefit the refugees and victims of the war in Ukraine. To achieve this goal they create this limited release: The Wolfburn Ukraine Edition. It is limited to 1550 bottles, fully matured in ex-bourbon quarter casks, the yellow-blue label clearly states “Supporting the Ukraine humanitarian appeal”.

The distillery donates the proceeds of this bottling in full to this charity, your support will be rewarded with this fantastic whisky.

It is sad to see that some shops, collectors, flippers … are trying to make a profit out of these charity bottlings. So, these are at regular retail price, but the seal will be broken or the label will be marked, which ever you prefer as buyer, to avoid seeing them at auctions.

So support the cause by raising a glass to the defenders of Ukraine.
