Barley is the core ingredient of our single malt whiskey. With the addition of only water and a little yeast, this unique crop gives us the core flavours of the new make spirit that matures on-site into whiskey.

04 Maturing and Bottling

Maturing in wooden casks develops and enhances the flavours of our new make spirit, and adds elements of both the wood and the previous spirit held in the cask.

In 2021 we took 54 litres from one of our ex-bourbon whiskey casks and allowed it to mature further in an ex-sherry octave before we reduced it and bottled it at 50.5% abv, with ? bottles produced
