This week we’re excited to welcome a fantastic new range of whiskies into our store from one of the fastest rising overseas indie bottlers – Single & Single Whisky. Founded in South Africa in the mid-2000s by entrepreneur and whisky-lover, Yossi Schwartz, Single & Single have since released some truly incredible expressions from some of […]
When whisky is taken out of a cask to be bottled, it typically sits at between 50-65% ABV (or lower, if it has aged for much longer).

When we talk about variation of flavour in whisky, the two subjects that come up most frequently are cask and time.

Last week, independent bottler and Cask broker, Cask 88, unveiled two truly inspired releases at the stunning venue of Borthwick Castle in Gorebridge, Scotland.
