Cask Masters

The Testimony to the Excellence of Scotch Whisky

The Cask Masters series honor the centuries of ancient traditions and craftsmanship that have made single malt Scotch whisky one of the world’s finest products.

From the sowing and tending of the barley, the creation of the malt to be distilled into the new-make spirit – the lifeblood of every distillery, the careful selection of the highest quality oak barrels that quietly mature in warehouses around Scotland. Each unique label pays tribute to the art of whisky making, with each individual bottle in the series highlighting a different element of the many processes involved in creating landmark Scotch whiskies.

For each of the Cask Masters, we select only the most outstanding Scotch whiskies, all of which exhibit the provenance, age, and balance of flavors expected from the finest spirits.

Secret Agents

"Secret Agents" is a collection of Whiskies from famous, but undeclared distilleries. Every label contains a cryptic reference to the distillery, without divulging the true identity, and we’re happy to see whisky enthusiasts investigate & speculate as to where the whisky might have been born.

Unusual Wood & Flavours

The “out of the ordinary” - some of our whiskies have been matured or finished in interesting, unusual or exotic casks, sourced from far-flung lands. Red Wine Barriques from South America, France or Italy. Tequila Casks from Mexico, Rum Barrels from the Caribbean, and more… - the list of exceptional oak is long, always an interesting experience and another good reason to talk about our Whisky.

Cheeky Little Rascals Studios

Some of our Whiskies are gregarious and full of character, though still quite young. Despite their young age, they performed so well in the casting call that they made the final cut. These young stars of the future now have the opportunity to show the world just how good they are.
