Independent Bottlers

There are more than 130 independent bottlers in Scotland, the majority owned by prominent whisky producers. Each distillery has an original production process and an intriguing history, some even showcasing their work from 300 years ago.

Independent bottlers have greater control over their stock, ensuring each cask is matured and mixed to perfection before bottling. Most of these distilleries use traditional whisky-making methods bespoke to their heritage, while still providing a unique whisky each and every time.

We supply only the finest, highest quality whiskies that both collectors and connoisseurs will admire. Whether you prefer a single malt with peaty undertones or blended grain whisky tasting of fresh fruit, we have a splendid selection for you.

What is an independent whisky bottler?

An independent whisky bottler acquires casks privately from distilleries or investors. Although they do not produce the whisky themselves, they manage the maturation process. When the whisky is ready, they bottle it under their own label and sell it.
