Storm Eowyn gave it laldy yesterday, but today, the skies have calmed, the drams are poured, and Burns Night is upon us! We could quote Burns on the fleeting nature of storm, but instead, let’s raise a glass to the man himself, to the spirit of rebellion, poetry, and whisky-fueled adventures. And, most importantly, to fewer storms like that in the future!🥃🔥

Here’s Old Smitty’s, one of our lesser-known but brilliant single malt that pairs perfectly with haggis, neeps, and tatties. Have you had a chance to try it yet? If not, tonight might just be the perfect excuse. Slàinte! 🥃

What a fantastic way to start our 2025 whisky festival calendar!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at Southport Whisky Festival this weekend, and to Victor Porter and the amazing team at southportwhisky club for hosting such a superb event.

Southport holds a special place in our journey—back in the early days of BNS, it was the first club in the U.K. to release an exclusive bottling with us. So, it felt only right to unveil our brand-new whisky range, Cask Masters, for the first time right here!🎉 This new series of affordable single cask whiskies is something we’re incredibly excited about.

We’ll be showcasing Cask Masters at consumer festivals across Europe in the coming months, as well as at major trade expos like Vinexposium, Foodex Japan, and ProWein starting next month.

And this is just the beginning! You’ll soon be able to follow the journey of Cask Masters on its own dedicated Instagram and pages —stay tuned for more updates. 👀

January at BNS: Behind the Casks!
The Day-to-Day Life as an Indie Bottler.

The start of the year is always busy for us indie bottlers. From clearing ice off casks and labeling bottles to sampling whisky, picking new casks and planning our next big releases, there’s no shortage of work—or laughs! Add in endless teas, coffees, and brainstorming sessions, and you’ve got the recipe for a proper January.

We’re also gearing up for the first festivals of the year, starting with the Southport Winter Whisky Festival 2025 and Wine Paris (Vinexposium). It’s all part of the job, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Which part of indie bottler's life would you fancy the most (except the tasting, obviously!)
