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.

As some of you might know, THISTLE is a hobby grown out of hand. Meaning it is a one man side business with not enough cash to have everything done by professional companies and that is fine. It is tiring, frustrating, hard,…, but also very educational and comes with unexpected pleasures of achievment. It only takes a ‘bit’ longer to develop certain modern features that everyone has grown used to and considers as minimal requirements.

In my process of developing BOX BIZAR, another ‘little’ project I am running, I managed to get some high-end payment methods in place.

Instead of having your traditional, old school bank transfer, which I still offer, and the sneaky ‘friend to friend’ PayPal transaction to avoid extra costs, which I now have cancelled, I can tell you proudly that Thistle offers officially payments with BANCONTACT and PAYPAL.

To celebrate this personal, historic leap I add a special sample in every order coming in before the end of the week, which is payed by one of these 2 fancy payment methods.

I will communicate elobarately about BOX BIZAR in the near future. For those curious follow us on Instagram. It has something to do with spirits.
