Vintage Cask Collection
These very rare, exquisite whiskies are among the finest in our portfolio. The casks come from some of Scotland’s most respected distilleries, bottled at vintages rarely found.
Each is carefully managed over the years. When we judge it has reached its prime, we bottle at cask strength without chill-filtering and with its natural colour, ensuring the fullest flavours and true characteristics are retained for your enjoyment.
As is the nature of single cask whiskies, these expressions are extremely limited in number.
