The Sipping Shed The Sipping Shed is an independent bottler of single cask and small batch whisky.

With each unique bottling, we tell the enchanting story of whisky and explore the unending complexity and depth of flavour of this world renowned spirit. It’s a place where everyone is welcome and where the enjoyment of sharing is at its heart. We want to instil in you the passion we have for beautifully crafted spirits, bringing them to you from small batches and single casks, carefully selected

and finished to offer a unique drinking experience. Here at The Sipping Shed it’s all we can do to keep our hands off some of the beautiful distillate slowly maturing away as the angels continually test and sample our wares for readiness. Other fine spirits and liquid treasures adorn the shelves as we tinker in the Shed, looking for new ways to satisfy the most discerning of taste buds. So come on in, bring your friends and join us for a cockle warming dram in The Sipping Shed…

The DNA of whisky is always recognisable even though whiskies can be so wildly different.

Like Night & Day, two different worlds, yet you're always in the same place.

Our Night & Day offer pairs two traditional cask types with very different characteristics.

Night - Rich, dark and sultry Aultmore from 11 years in a refill sherry cask.

Day - Vibrant, juicy Glenshiel aged for 10 years in a first fill bourbon cask giving vanilla, coconut and spice.

We wanted to show how these two classic cask types can take amazing whisky into completely different flavour spaces whilst exemplify what it is to be whisky.

You can now but them as a pair* with a delicious discount from our online store.

*Delivery charge will be for one bottle only.

Two contrasting whiskies that will charm your socks off.

Our Glenshiel 10 (Loch Lomond) has been matured in 1st fill bourbon which adds lashings of vanilla and coconut. Like a spiced apple crumble with thick custard.

Whereas our second batch of Aultmore 11 has been matured in a sherry cask giving dried fruits, toffee and spice.

Two completely different styles that show how casks can take a whisky in opposing directions. They do have one thing in common though - they're both absolutely delicious!

And fabulous art work from Matt Martin of course.

Head over to on twitter to play Spot the Whisky. Our fiendish finding game where you hunt down the hidden bottle in various scenes.

Sadly Facebook doesn't allow enough zooming on the pictures to play properly. In fact it's always an achievement zooming in at all on FB and takes a lot of frantic bashing of the screen and a few expletives.

So, just for FB, a nice easy one for you.

Spot the Whisky - round 2.

This is a shed. Not THE Shed. Just a shed. However, hidden in it's depths is a bottle of our super tasty, Glenshiel 10 year old single Highland malt. J
Matured in a single first fill bourbon cask, just over a hundred bottles were released and one is hiding in there somewhere.

The Beast of Foggy Moss, scourge of the Speyside hills and marauder of distilleries, took a bite out of our innocent Aultmore sherry cask, and feasted merrily on the whisky inside.

Risking certain death*, we bravely rescued what remained and bottled it just for you.

Our heroic efforts have delivered a perfectly sherried Aultmore, matured for 11 years and tamed to 48.5% abv so you can dive straight into this beguiling single malt scotch whisky.

A mere 89 bottles were retrieved from the cask making this a rare treat indeed.

One for the parents amongst us.

It's World Book Day tomorrow. What started out as an innocent celebration of literature to inspire the next generation of readers has descended into a fraught evening of preparing fancy dress costumes. Marketing departments, eager to leverage the event, will present us with must have Where's Wally jumpers and bobble hats along with an assortment of Harry Potter paraphernalia and anything loosely related to the Mr Men books.

And we're no different! Our strategy centre's around your desire for calm once the kids are sorted.

Sooth your severed nerves with our 10 year old Glenshiel single cask whisky. Take yourself to the quite, idilic shores of the magnificent Loch Lomond, from whence it came, with each sip and relax. Allow the floral and vanilla notes to calm your senses. Enjoy the tranquility as each taste reveals layers upon layer of gentle flavours such as butterscotch, coconut and cooked peaches.

Pretty powerful stuff.

Now head over to www.thesippingshed.com to find your perfect dram for unwinding and completely ignoring your children.

Your search for THAT whisky is finally over. Our Ardmore single malt whisky 2009 vintage, matured for 12 years is going to score you some browny points. Big time!

Finished in a PX octave for a year before being bottled at cask strength. Smoky, rich and gently spiced. It's a memorising whisky for the discerning and, let's face it, difficult to buy for whisky drinker.

While we rightly focus on our new bottlings, let's not forget some of the other stunners we have.

Our Linkwood 11 year old is a brilliant example of the fruity character of Speyside whiskies and careful maturation using ex bourbon casks.

For reasons I can't quite fathom, its golden colour and lack of sherry finish make it a less fashionable whisky these days but its quality should not be underestimated. This whisky punches well above its weight!

The flavours and complexity packed into this whisky are incredible. Tons of fruit and sweetshop aromas with the cask adding just the right amount of vanilla and coconut. Perfect weight in the mouth, creating a luxurious experience. So much to explore but always approachable.
