Blair Athol 26 Year-Old Wins 94/100 at IWSC

We are excited to announce that our Blair Athol 26 Year-Old, the final release in the "Scottish Witchcraft" series, has earned an outstanding 94/100 at the International Wine and Spirits Competition. To commemorate this achievement, we're offering a 10% discount on this exceptional whisky. Use Code WITCHES10

This 26 year-old Oloroso sherry cask of Blair Athol is the culmination of three years of inspired design and careful cask selection by our team. Inspired by the prophetic "Weird Sisters" in Shakespeare's Macbeth, this whisky is a vibrant and bright expression with all the rich, fruity, and long-lingering qualities that an Oloroso cask brings.

Experience an enticing nose of pretty florals and pink plums, layered with a sweet toffee aroma. The whisky offers a tangy pink fruit finish, leaving a lasting impression.

is incredibly proud to announce that our 1998 single cask bottling, “The Bothy”, from the lost Imperial distillery, has been awarded a remarkable 98/100, an Outstanding Gold Medal at the illustrious International Wine & Spirits Competition, beating off hundreds of competitors to achieve one of the highest scores possible this year.

The Imperial Distillery is a fabled, "ghost" distillery after closing its doors in 1998, to eventually be demolished in 2013 for the new Dalmunach distillery - established in 2015.

This elegant, bright, and exceptional whisky is a true testament to Speyside whisky, and we were blessed to have one of the last ever casks from this fantastic distillery.

Our Story

Once there were three friends who loved Scotch whisky. They had spent their lives travelling across the world before they stopped, took stock and realised their friends around the globe should have access to the excellent whisky we have available in Scotland. So they set about connecting fine whisky with fine people all over the world.

We seek out distinctive and historic casks. Then we unite them with people who would like to own a cask. Or we create beautiful, limited independent bottlings.

https://www.cask88.com/

Ultimately we are just people who are very passionate about whisky. That’s why we love devoting time to designing independent bottlings but also to getting involved in the larger whisky world. Recently we have been producing an online whisky series featuring interviews with experts from around the globe as well as interesting Scottish characters and fantastic musical acts. We hope it can keep people in our industry educated and entertained in these times. Visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEXwXJdrUuM to have a look.
