One great idea, two wooden casks and four aligned minds. That’s all we needed to create this splendid whisky. Well, and a lot of hard work too.
Our first creation: a carefully selected cask from Arran, finished on a Belgian Kriek Cask of Cantillon.
An exclusive bottling of a Scotch Single Malt Whisky on a cask of one of the most traditional of Belgian beers, specially selected for you.
And who knows what comes next…
THE WHISKY…PART I

This creation is a marriage of a 12 year matured Arran Scotch Single Malt Whisky on a refill bourbon cask, with a finish on an authentic cask of Kriek Cantillon.
A beautiful collaboration of Scottish and Belgian craftsmanship with respect for both traditions.

A match made… in a rare Cantillon cask
These drinks share more than just this box. Both have lived in the same cask.
Well, not exactly the same one. But Cantillon casks are becoming a rarity. The finish on Cantillon Kriek cask gives our whisky its unique taste.
