The Yellow Edition

Carefully selected Single Cask Whisky

Brave New Spirits proudly present our Yellow Edition range. A selection of whiskies, specially chosen to reflect the character and diversity of their country of origin. With The Yellow Edition, we aim to present whiskies to delight connoisseurs all over the world. Whiskies with a focus on provenance, individuality, quality, class and of course, flavour.

Whether bottled as handpicked single casks or in carefully crafted small batches, these Single Malt Whiskies offer a true representation of fine Scottish craftsmanship.

In terms of taste, we focus on the world’s most famous casks in which Scotch whisky is matured. High quality oak barrels from Spain, USA, France or even further afield – all previously used to mature some of the world’s finest sherry, bourbon & wine. The detail for each bottling – distillery, cask type, and production numbers, are clearly announced on each front label.

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.
