I love Independent Bottlers - not only do they give you an opportunity to try whiskies that may not have a distillery bottling, but also gives you a chance to experience single cask bottlings, alternative styles of a distillery and also have whiskies that have only a few hundred bottles produced
A blended malt from distilleries across Scotland with a signature sweet Speyside note. A subtle yet complex blend creates the luscious honeyed notes that the whisky is named after. This is a sweet and floral whisky which is a popular...

"This delicious first expression of the new Kingsbarns distillery is a masterpiece in how you can make young whisky taste delicious! Soft tropical fruit flavours, mixed with a cereal note and then just a prickle of spice and alcohol on...
An awesome young whisky from one of the Islay distilleries (we aren't allowed to tell you which but it sounds like 'Owl Tiler'). Big, bold and peaty, it has a delicious medicinal note. Don't let the lack of name it...

A well known brand in the 19th Century, this is a light and fruity blended whisky. Don't be put off by the lack of single malt status.... you don't go to a Michelin restaurant and buy a lettuce, you get...
"Put into Oloroso sherry butts, this whisky has a super sweeter spicy notes, and is a richer style than the Dream to Dram - not that that makes it better, just different!"
Ignore everything you've been told about whisky needing to be over 10 years old. The barrel selection has improved so much over the past few decades that young whisky is very much drinkable now, and delicious.
Originally in a bourbon hogshead, then finished in an Oloroso cask, it has lots of mint, cinnamon and raisins on the nose. The palate has chocolate and vanilla ice cream covered in strawberry sauce!
Breakfast notes take centre stage with creamy vanilla porridge, malt biscuits and fresher coconut aromas before a palate of almond, walnut, stone fruits and coconut on the finish.
From just down the road in Glenrothes, only 265 bottles of this whisky have been made from a single refill Hogshead. This grain whisky is soft, elegant and full of buttered popcorn and caramel flavours.
This Glenrothes single cask release from Wemyss Malts has been aged for 23 years in a single refill hogshead from a 1996 distillation. Named 'Tasty Cake Mix', this one yielded just 247 bottles.
A 21 year old single cask release from the Wemyss Malts series of single cask offerings. Here we have a lesser-known Speyside malt from the Benrinnes distillery, matured in a "floral barrel". 'A Gardener's Aperitif' is bottled at an impressive...
Uncoloured and Unfiltered as it should be! Ardmore is known for it's distinctive peaty character unusual for a Highland Malt, and I think one of the hidden gems in Scotland. The distillery is less than 120 years old and it...
