An amazing evening of fun & drams approaching, as our great friend Steve Rush ( on insta/ Twitter) embarks on another Tweet Tasting with some of our whiskies.

These events are awesome - some of the best tasting notes we’ve ever seen have come from members of the public joining these tastings for the first time, so get in touch with Steve to register for the tasting, as spaces are limited!

Even with Scotland's unpredictable summer, there's always a little sunshine with whisky in hand. 🌞🥃

And whisky sour with our Lighthouse whisky sounds pretty 'sunny', don't you think?

Wow! This was one epic weekend!

We were honoured to attend Kilkerran Single Malt & Glengyle Distillery's 20th Annivarsary Celebrations this weekend. Big thank you and huge congratulations to all at J. & A. Mitchell and Company Ltd and Springbank Distillers Distillers Ltd.

During the series of events our team here at Brave New Spirits had a chance to attend a private tour and at the Kilkerran Distillery (many thanks to the lovely staff for all their efforts and time!), network with an amazing group of industry people during the pre-party before the concert... What a line up that was! It kicked off with a local band (which proves Campbeltown is home to not only whisky celebrities but also musical talent!) We were amazed by the Red Hot Chili Pipers and not to metion: Travis performing that night also!

Hats off to everyone at Springbank, Kilkerran and Glengyle for all their efforts putting such an amazing and well-organised event together.

Once again, we would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Kilkerran on their anniversary and wish even greater success on your future path. Sláinte!🥃

Huge thanks to our colleague Kevin for sharing these fantastic shots of some of our bottlings from the event held in Wu YI Shan city in China.

This tasting was organized in collaboration with Fu Jian Cuisine (Min Cusine) which originated in the Fujian province in Southeastern China. It is known for its emphasis on umami flavours, seafood, soups, and delicate cooking techniques.

Our colleague Tomek from Glasgow was lucky enough to attend this beautiful tasting and talk all things whisky with some lovely folks from the area.

Inspired by the roaring 20s, McKintyre's Club and Casino (MCC) is a beautiful 10 year old single malt with notes of fruit, light cream, vanilla, and caramel. This bottles also holds a Bronze medal from International Wine & Spirit Competition - IWSC and a Gold award from the Scotch Whisky Masters competition ( The Spirits Business ).

We enjoy this one as our go-to party drink, perfect on its own or in cocktails 🍸

Some of our team members just returned from the 19th International Food Beverage Asia Fair (FBAF2024) in Zhengzhou, China, which was AMAZING! This was our first time attending and we loved it.

Met some awesome industry leaders and potential partners, saw some cool products and tech, and learned about the newest industry trends.

We’re all pumped up now with new ideas for our future projects. Thanks to the team at the fair for all the support.

More great news arriving from Germany this week, as two of our whiskies have received Gold awards from the Meininger's International Spirits Award tasting panel. This is one of the toughest panels in Germany for judging, with only the top 30% of entrants being awarded any accolade.

Our Lighthouse Whisky (lightly peated) blend proves that high quality doesn’t need to come at a high price, and our 20yo blend has picked up another Gold award this year, proving that great taste and quality can be enjoyed by everyone.

Both whiskies are available in an increasing number of international markets in Europe, Asia & Latin America.

Our thanks to the Meininger team and judges for arranging events this year.

Grain whisky often flies under the radar, but here at Brave New Spirits, we're huge fans. We like to shake things up in the whisky world, and we believe that with the right casks, grain whisky can be outstanding! Lately, our grain whiskies have been gaining a lot of recognition which proves the quality of these spirits and perhaps growing popularity?

Voodoo Whisky 'Blood Moon' (13yrs North British) became the best Scotch grain whiskies last year World Whiskies Awards . Cask Noir Whisky “Ghost Of The Hill” bottling , a unique single cask from the now-closed Port Dundas distillery, has just been honoured with a “Master” award at the prestigious blind tasting events The Global Spirits Masters Masters Competitions (GSMC), organized by The Spirits Business . And our Ecosse G. is a 12 year old grain whisky (aged in French cognac casks), and has some spectacular awards in its portfolio too.

Have you had a chance to try any of BNS grain whiskies? Do you have your favourite?

We're super excited to share that three more of our Brave New Spirits bottlings are now available in Japan! While other countries are still growing their craft whisky scenes, Japan already has over 100 new distilleries making 100% Japanese whisky. This makes it really tough for us to stand out as an indie bottler, as we find ourselves competing with some of the most renowned names in the industry.

These lovely bottles are available at TASTING MARKET:

**Highland Shepherd**

A blend of bourbon and sherry cask malts from the famous Highland distillery. The flavours of vanilla, sweet orange, nut, butterscotch, and white pepper make it perfect for any occasion. 46% abv.

**Celtic Revival**

A 12-year-old single malt from a renowned Speyside distillery with a beautiful appearance and great flavor! Flavors of green apple, vanilla, citrus and caramel. 46% abv.

**McIntyre's Club & Casino**

Speyside single malt Scotch whisky, aged at least 10 years. Fruity, malty-sweet, apple, pineapple, nutty and citrus flavours. 46% abv.

With Father's Day approaching, we have a great gift suggestion for you👉

Why not treat your dad with our Cask Noir Whisky "Mutiny on the Wyre Majestic". It's a unique 10 years old Bunnahabhain Moin whisky from the Isle of Islay, matured in 2nd filled bourbon barrels, and bottled at 56,8%. Just 231 bottles were released in total.

It offers the flavours of spiced apple pie, dried cloves, distant wood-fired and smoked ham. Would pair beautifully with some smoked cheddar, or perhaps with fried scallops with pancetta?

This rare peated edition from Bunnahabhain is as intriquing as the story behind its name. Can you guess it?! Time to dive into the history books about Islay and its many sunken boats... the story that could be shared with your dad over a dram or two🥃 (🥃 ?)

Whisky is available in most of the great spirit shops in UK.
