    Deep, nuanced notes of roasted corn, honey, vanilla, black tea, and leather, revealed through nixtamalization, are true to our Mexican ancestral corn provenance and unlike any other whisky profile.

    Aberlour

    The Aberlour Distillery is at the heart of Speyside, the country's premier whisky-making region. No fewer than half of Scotland's malt distilleries are located in Speyside, which is renowned for producing whiskies of subtle depth and elegance.

    Situated at the junction of the rivers Lour and Spey, the distillery is surrounded by glorious scenery, dominated by the rugged peaks of Ben Rinnes a short distance away. Pure spring water for making the whisky is drawn from the Lour, and the maturing spirit in the warehouse beneficially inhales the moist Speyside air.

  • Benromach

    Benromach

    Benromach was built in 1898 and operated with only a few interruptions until 1983. However, it closed and sat unused until 1998, when new owners Gordon & MacPhail reopened the refurbished distillery and started distilling.

    G&M is well known in the whisky world for its independent bottlings but had never owned its own distillery. With the purchase of Benromach, the company entered a new part of the whisky industry and focused on producing old-fashioned whisky. The distillery's modest half-a-million-litre capacity gives G&M enough spirit to split between their much-loved core expressions and experiments – from organic and peated whiskies to various cask finishes. 

  • Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon

    Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon

    Single Barrel Bourbon started with Blanton’s in 1984. 

    Nearing retirement, Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee was tasked with creating a bourbon of exceptionally high quality.  With careful reflection, he recalled the earlier days of his career in the late 1940s when he worked under Colonel Albert B. Blanton.  Colonel Blanton was the president of the distillery until 1952. 

    Mr. Lee remembered that when Colonel Blanton would entertain dignitaries and other important guests, he would handpick “honey barrels” from the centre cut of Warehouse H and have that bourbon bottled one barrel at a time to share.

    As a tribute to Colonel Blanton’s old tradition, Elmer T. Lee decided to name this new bourbon “Blanton’s Single Barrel”. And the world’s first commercially produced single-barrel bourbon was born, revolutionising the bourbon world forever.

    Both Colonel Blanton and Elmer T. Lee dedicated the better part of their lives to ing the world’s finest bourbon. And at Blanton’s, we believe the finest bourbon in the world comes from a single barrel. 

     

     

  • Bowmore

    Bowmore

    The only urban distillery on Islay, Bowmore sits at the heart of the island's capital. While 'urban' may be overstating the size of Bowmore town, the distillery is one of whisky's best known names around the world.

    Sitting between the heavily smoked and unpeated malts found elsewhere on Islay, Bowmore's idiosyncratic style varies from floral to fruity, and recently released vintages have started to hark back to the legendary fruit-bomb days of the 1960s and 70s. A more elegant approach to Islay smoke, Bowmore is always a hit at The Whisky Show.

    It’s great to see the Whisky Show is getting more and more people attending every year. It’s a great event with whisky enthusiasts from around the world and there is a great selection of whisky to try, including some amazing Dream Drams. David Turner, distillery manager.

  • Caol Ila

    Caol Ila

    Built-in 1846, Caol Ila is the largest of the distilleries on the island of Islay (situated off the west coast of Scotland), with a production capacity of 3 million litres per year.

    In the normal Islay style, Caol Ila is made predominantly with peated malt, although it does also produce a small amount of unpeated spirit each year. Sought after by independent bottlers and blenders, Caol Ila's spirit is class Islay whisky – smoky and fruity. 

  • Cardhu

    Cardhu

    While Cardhu has been producing whisky since the 1820s, it has become best known as a key component of the Johnnie Walker range since John Walker & Sons purchased the distillery in 1893.

    It is now the spiritual centre of the famed blended whisky range, with a handful of carefully selected single malts allowing fans to taste the distillery's spirit on its own. 

  • Cardrona Distillery

    Cardrona Distillery

    The Cardrona Distillery is an artisan Single Malt distillery nestled high in the Cardrona Valley between Wanaka and Queenstown, New Zealand. We believe in using time-honoured traditional methods of hand-crafting spirits from malted barley.

    Our spirits are made from scratch, starting with malted barley, water, and yeast. Our barley is traditional Scottish two-row distillers malt, essential for making great Single Malt. Our water is from the highest alpine pass in New Zealand and embeds the character of our land into our spirits.

    Our Founder, Desiree Whitaker, decided to realise her dream of making a New Zealand single malt whisky that would stand tall on the international stage. Nine years later, the world is beating a track to the Cardrona Distillery, which produces exceptional award-winning single malt whisky, liqueurs, vodka and gin.

    At Catoctin Creek, we believe in high quality food and spirits.

  • Chita

    Chita

     Chita Single Grain Whisky first appeared on the market in 2015 after years of whisky fans asking to try Suntory's grain whisky, and it didn't disappoint. Now available worldwide, it shows a very different side to Japanese whisky.

    In 1972, Keizo Saji (Suntory’s second Master Blender) took a momentous step forward in pursuing Shinjiro Torii’s vision to develop diverse and truly Japanese whiskies blessed with the riches of Japanese nature and craftsmanship. On the misty, calm shores of the Chita Peninsula, Keizo built a distillery dedicated to creating the highest-quality Japanese grain whisky.

     

  • Clynelish

    Clynelish

    Clynelish is an anglicised version of the Gaelic for green pasture. And, though it’s a coastal whisky, this is fitting for a Scotch with sweet floral fragrances and verdant flavour notes. It’s a name with a long history, predating the distillery we know today, but which has adorned the labels of whisky bottles for two hundred years.

    Clynelish proudly serves as one of the Four Corners distilleries of Johnnie Walker. We distil the rich Highland Malt enjoyed worldwide on its own and as a vital component of Johnnie Walker whiskies. Discover the mysterious and hidden spirit of our coastal Sutherland home, where we create our rich, waxy whisky, carrying notes of tropical fruit and honey.

  • Copenhagen Distillery

    Copenhagen Distillery

    Copenhagen’s first and only whisky distillery was established in 2014; born from a synergy of visions and the urge for cto create unique, locally crafted, quality spirits. 

    Our story began when a pioneering distiller and three entrepreneurial designers were united over their shared values of curiosity, passion, and a good glass of a fine spirit.

    We initially set out to change the world of single malt whisky, but given whisky’s long maturation time, our curiosity inspired us to explore other spirit categories.

    Much experimentation later, we can proudly present a range of unique and award-winning spirits – a line of versatile gins, our beloved Scandinavian Aquavits, and our new range of unconventional whiskies.

    The distillery team consists of a dedicated crew of craftsmen with a wholehearted love for artisan distillation and a desire to discover new spirits. 

    In 2018 we received the Organic Certification – making us one of the very first organic-certified distilleries in Scandinavia. Thus, we will continue to develop surprising and delightful spirits for the tongue, nose, and eyes, but with sustainability at heart.

  • Cragganmore

    Cragganmore

    Cragganmore takes its rock face of a name from the mountain in whose shadow its distillery sits. And this is a whisky with many high approaches and hidden valleys of flavour. Known as the most complex aroma on Speyside, it must also be one of the most delightful because the distillery can’t keep up with demand.

    In 1869, Big John Smith – said to have been the most experienced distiller of his day – founded Cragganmore. He lobbied for a railway siding, and using this, his business acumen and skill as a distiller turned Cragganmore into a popular, high-quality single malt whisky. 

  • Dalwhinnie

    Dalwhinnie

    Built-in 1897 and is currently the highest distillery in the country.

    Dalwhinnie – or “Plain of Meetings” in Gaelic – is named for its location at a junction of old driven roads, between two mountain ranges. Year after year, it survives the coldest conditions to produce a smooth, golden heather honey-like spirit. 

  • Elements of Islay

    Elements of Islay

    Created in 2008, the Elements of Islay range encompasses bottlings from across the island of Islay.

    The distilleries are not mentioned on the label; each letter is an Islay distillery code, and each number refers to the batch. Batches are bottled purely with flavour rather than emphasising vintage or age. The aim of the range is to present the best Islay whiskies in a more contemporary way. 

  • English Whisky Co

    English Whisky Co

    The Nelstrop family have a 600-year-old tradition of growing and processing grain. And although the initial idea was for a micro-distillery, customs and excise wouldn’t consider anything smaller than 1800 ltr stills (larger than some in Scotland!).

    So, back in 2005, in a field they owned down by the River Thet, the footings were dug and the building work began with Andrew at the helm as the main contractor. 16 years later The English Whisky Co. is firmly established as England’s Oldest and Original whisky producer.

    Andrew Nelstrop is currently the owner and relentlessly works to fulfil the distillery's main aim “My father James Nelstrop’s sole ambition was to produce the very finest single malt whisky. This is still the only goal of The English Whisky Co”

  • Four Roses

    Four Roses

    Four Roses' approach to making bourbon differs greatly from other American distillers.

    With two mash bills and five strains of yeast, they create 10 different spirits, which after ageing, are combined to create the various different releases in the distillery's award-winning range.

    It's a unique approach and has led to the creation of some of America's most sought-after whiskies in recent years. 

  • Glenkinchie

    Glenkinchie

    Glenkinchie is just fifteen miles from the capital, earning it the title “The Edinburgh Malt.” But it’s strange to think of that dark and distinguished city when you see fields of barley or the green Lammermuir Hills rolling north towards the Firth of Forth. Stranger still when you taste this rare Lowland survivor's subtle, floral flavour.

    Founded in 1837, Glenkinchie now proudly serves as one of the Four Corners distilleries of Johnnie Walker. We distil the Edinburgh Malt that is enjoyed worldwide on its own and as a vital component of Johnnie Walker whiskies.

  • Glenlivet

    Glenrothes

  • Gordon & MacPhail

    Gordon & MacPhail

    On 24 May 1895, a new grocers shop opened on South Street in Elgin. One of the first new employees was John Urquhart, a 15-year-old serving his apprenticeship under owners James Gordon and Alexander MacPhail. When MacPhail retired in 1915, Urquhart became a partner and sole partner when Gordon passed away two weeks later. Since then, his family has run the company.

    With the fourth generation now in charge, Gordon & MacPhail continues to grow. The Whisky Shop is still on South Street; the company's whisky business is its focus. Along with an award-winning and widely respected range of single cask bottlings, G&M also owns Benromach and The Cairn distilleries and produces a wide range of single malt expressions. 

    With such a long history, G&M has some of the most impressive archives in the whisky business. With almost 100 years of bottlings available, we look forward to seeing what they will bring to the Old & Rare show. 

  • Green Spot

    Green Spot

    Green Spot is a pure 'pot still' Irish whiskey made for whisky merchants Mitchell & Son.

    For years, it was one of the only pure-pot Irish whiskeys still being produced, and it was a style's flagship. Pure pot is still popular now that Irish whiskey is experiencing well-deserved exposure, with Green Spot and its label mates leading the charge. 

  • Haig Club

    Haig Club

    Think of Haig Club, and you think of David Beckham - not because of clever marketing or glossy advertising campaigns - but because David is a brand partner in every sense of the word.

    "Haig Club is all about making your own rules and breaking the stereotypes associated with drinking Scotch, which I love." - David Beckham

    I was in as soon as they told me about Haig Club, the Haig family, and the history behind the whisky with Haig. Once we sat down, discussed the project, and that I was becoming part of a family that had been around for 400 years, I didn't need to know anything else. I love the heritage, so as soon as I knew about it, it was a given that I would be involved. I've always wanted to be a whisky drinker, but being an athlete, I've never got into that. I never drank too much over my career, which was 22 years. We've had a lot of fun and a lot of success so far, but most of all, it's great to be part of a family that's been around for so many years.  

  • Hakushu

    Hakushu

    Built at the foot of Mt. Kaikomagatake in the Southern Japan Alps, Hakushu produces very different whiskies from those from the sister distillery Yamazaki.

    Focusing on smokier spirit, Hakushu's whisky varies from the rich and peaty to the light, zesty and smoky, expanding both the range of malts that Suntory has to produce its award-winning blended whiskies and the number of great Japanese single malts that the company released to fans around the world.  

  • Hibiki

    Hibiki

    Suntory Hibiki is Japan's most famous and prestigious blend and has played a significant role in catapulting Japanese whisky onto the global stage.

    When its prestige 30-year-old edition won the title of Worlds Best Blend at the inaugural World Whisky Awards in 2007 and repeated the feat in 2008, it was obvious that Japanese whisky was equal to the challenge of being a worldwide brand. Remarkably, Hibiki, a 21-year-old, won the same prize in 2010 and 2011 to place beyond doubt Suntory status in the highest echelon of blended whisky. 

  • Jameson

    Jameson

    The current success of Irish whiskey has, with a lot of evidence, been blamed on Jameson.

    Loved worldwide for its distinctly Irish style, it continues to grow and is pulling the rest of the Irish whiskey market along for the ride. The revamped Jameson range now also includes premium expressions, showing the versatility of the distillery and the skills of master blender Billy Leighton and his team.

  • Johnnie Walker

    Johnnie Walker

    Founded in the first half of the 19th century, John Walker and Sons, makers of Johnnie Walker, are one of the longest-continuously running whisky-making companies in the world.

    From humble beginnings as a grocer, the company grew through the 1800s until it sold some 100,000 gallons of blended whisky a year in the 1860s. The modern era began in 1908 when the flagship blend became known as Johnnie Walker, named after the company's founder.

    Now a subsidiary of Diageo, the world's largest drinks company, John Walker and Sons continues to produce a wide range of whiskies, from the entry-level Red Label all the way up to the £12,000 a bottle John Walker & Sons Diamond Jubilee, released in 2012.

  • Jura

    Jura

    With less than 200 people living on the island, Jura's distillery is at the heart of the community and sits in the middle of Craighouse, the island's biggest (and only) town.

    The present Jura distillery was built in the 1960s on the site of a previous distillery that had been founded in 1810 but closed and dismantled in 1901. Since the 60s, the Jura has slowly grown and, under the stewardship of owners Whyte & Mackay, has again become a well-known whisky.

All under one roof, select Peerless grains are milled, cooked, fermented, double-distilled and barreled as Bourbon & Rye.

  • Kyrö Distillery Company

    Kyrö Distillery Company

    Back in 2012, a group of friends were having a sauna and drinking rye whisky when they began to ponder why nobody was making rye whisky in Finland. Surprisingly, the idea of starting their own distillery still seemed good the following morning, and from there, the journey of Kyrö began. 

    After a successful first attempt at new make spirit (fermented in the home of head distiller Kalle’s parents), the founding friends began their rye journey in an old dairy in the town of Isokyrö. In 2014, Kyrö’s stills were heated for the first time, and the first whisky was laid to rest. Ten years on, the distillery has grown from a wild dream to a craft powerhouse with skill and capacity – and pretty great spirits.

    People and the environment are important to Kyrö – that’s what Kyrö spirit is made of. The new whisky distillery makes use of locally produced biogas, while the original distillery and visitor centre operate with a combination of waste heat from distilling and renewable energy. From the tiny town of Isokyrö to the bright lights of Berlin, the team works with local communities and organisations focusing on reducing inequality. Kyrö’s focus is always local – wherever that may be.

    Kyrö’s spirits are always made from 100% Finnish wholegrain rye – whisky, gin or liqueur. But we know you’re here for the whisky: a whisky that has come a long way since it was just a dream in a sauna. The Kyrö team had no idea how to make whisky the “right” way, so they did it their way. Aged through dark winters and bright summers, Kyrö Malt is a whisky you haven’t tasted before – to be enjoyed with friends, with or without the sauna.

  • Langatun

    Langatun

    As a newly graduated master brewer, Jakob Baumberger founded a distillery on his father's farm in 1857.

    In 1860, he took over a small brewery in Langenthal (Celtic: "Langatun"), which he subsequently expanded into a flourishing business alongside the distillery. This was the foundation stone for today's distillery, founded by Jakob's descendant, Hans Baumberger, in 2005 and allowed to move into the Kornhaus in 2014.

    The history of Langatun is, above all, the history of people, places and products that reflect the company's core values: Honesty, Quality, Commitment and Innovation.

    In addition to the distillery, Langatun today also operates a visitor centre in the Kornhaus, where interested parties are welcomed for guided tours with tastings and distilling seminars. The premises can also be rented for events of all kinds.

  • Mackmyra

    Mackmyra

    The story of Mackmyra, Sweden’s first whisky distillery, famously began with a ski trip in 1998, when eight friends from Stockholm’s Royal Institute of Technology went on holiday together, and all brought bottles of whisky to share. One evening in a hot tub, plans for the Mackmyra building were formed.

    Almost 20 years later, the founders are on to their second distillery and sit at the forefront of sustainable and energy-efficient whisky production. Fortunately, they also produce a range of excellent whiskies with local twists on traditional production methods giving them a distinctively Swedish character.

  • Michter's

    Michter's

    Based in Louisville, Kentucky, Michter’s offers a range of highly acclaimed Ryes, Bourbons & American Whiskeys. The history of Michter’s traces back to 1753, when John Shenk founded a distillery in Pennsylvania.​

    It wasn’t all plain sailing though. In 1989 the American whiskey industry suffered from a prolonged downturn and Michter’s then-owners declared bankruptcy, abandoning the Distillery’s assets & trademarks. It was revived when two whiskey lovers, Joseph J. Magliocco & Dick Newman, re-established Michter’s in Kentucky, the heart of the modern American whiskey industry. Today, Michter’s continues to go from strength to strength and is recognised internationally for its exceptional whiskey

    Morris Australian Single Malt Whisky

    Established in 1859, the Morris family winery is one of the most acclaimed fortified producers in the world.

    Craftsmanship in blending, ageing and creating world-class fortified wine has been passed down through six generations of the family, allowing MORRIS to truly master the creation of extraordinary flavour in Australian single malt whisky.

    The unique and distinctive MORRIS whisky flavour comes from unrivalled access to fortified wine barrels for finishing the whisky, barrels which have held the world’s most highly awarded fortified wines.

    Creative and curious, they are not afraid to walk their own path. Nc’nean use only organic Scottish barley, in their distillery powered by only renewable energy, and bottle their first whisky in the industry’s first 100% recycled clear glass bottle.

    Whilst they believe that maturation is critical, Nc’nean’s real passion is for the spirit which comes straight off the still. Their organic malted barley is mashed slowly, fermented slowly and distilled slowly, everything they do is to designed to achieve their trademark clean and fruity tasting spirit.

     

     

  • Never Say Die

    Never Say Die

    A combination of decades of distilling expertise, a careful selection of yeast strains and grain quality, and a first for the category final maturation in barrel across the Atlantic exposing Never Say Die to ocean air, humidity and temperature differentials which offer a wholly unique flavour profile – blending traditional robust Bourbon notes with an adventurous twist.

    Never Say Die was co-founded by a team of trans-Atlantic partners with expertise in Bourbon supply chains, horseracing, PR and political campaigning, and an impressive history in distilling ultra-premium Bourbon. Never Say Die exists to embed the deep Kentucky links between horses and Bourbon, whilst personifying the historic relationship between England and the US. The Whiskey Show 2022 will be the brand’s maiden race and will offer Bourbon lovers in England the very first opportunity to taste its unique flavours owing to its voyage, in barrel, across the Atlantic – the first Bourbon to make such a voyage.

    Never Say Die Bourbon embraces the legacy of its infamous namesake. In 1951, in Lexington, KY, a foal had a rough birth and its life was in danger. Legendary horseman, John A. Bell III, was on site and poured a shot of whiskey down the throat of the struggling foal. Through the night, the horse made a dramatic recovery and was aptly named Never Say Die. Three years later Never Say Die won the biggest race in the world, the 175th running of the Derby Stakes at Epsom Downs (the Epsom Derby) at 33-1 odds, to become the first American-born horse to win the race in over 70 years.

    Oban is a fairly isolated distillery, perched on the westernedge of the Scottish mainland at the very top of the Kintyre peninsula.

    Pokeno

    The New Zealand spirit is forged through a unique marriage of culture and climate.

    It's an intangible phenomenon that produces tangible greatness and enables Kiwis to fearlessly punch above their weight on a global stage. And it's this spirit that inspires us to experiment with flavour to create world-class- but distinctively different - single malts.

    There is no compromise in anything we do, and I would like to thank you for joining us on this journey of discovery, not just of our whisky, but of Aotearoa New Zealand.

  • Power’s

    Power’s

    On opening his Johns Lane Distillery in 1791, James Power, our founding father found his calling. Over 200 years later his legacy lives on, in a triple distilled Single Pot Still Irish whiskey, using the heart of the distillate. His visionary decision to devote his future to distilling and the pioneering spirit of the generations that followed him were to rock the whiskey world.

    This single pot still style of whiskey is unique to Ireland, and is made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley, triple distilled in traditional copper pot stills. However unlike other Pot Still Irish whiskey POWERS goes further. Discarding more top and tail of the second and third charges we honour a bold tradition of excellence that saw James Powers whiskey become the most popular selling brand in Ireland.

  • Sagamore Spirit

    Sagamore Spirit

    We are proud to call Baltimore our home and since April 2017, have been distilling and aging our proprietary straight rye whiskey from our distillery on Baltimore’s waterfront. It takes 4 years to get to the perfect taste so stay tuned!

    But we wanted to share our Maryland-style rye whiskey before our distillery was built. So we asked our friends in Indiana to distill our two different proprietary mash bills for us. They make great whiskies out there and we couldn’t be prouder of the product. Once the whiskey is aged, it’s shipped to our Maryland distillery in barrels and our distilling team proofs it with Sagamore Farm spring water, before hand-bottling and labeling each one.

  • Samuel Gelston's

    Samuel Gelston's

    Gelston’s Old Irish Whiskey was founded in 1830 by Samuel Gelston, a prosperous wine and whiskey merchant from Belfast. Upon Samuel’s death in late 1869 Henry James Neill (Harry) purchased the business and developed the scale of the business considerably both in Ireland and in overseas markets.

    Harry had left Belfast in 1851 to seek his fortune in the Australian Gold Rush of that year. Rather than prospecting for gold he set up a pioneering provisions business for the miners and their families and brought his younger brothers out to Australia to help grow the firm. He successfully sold his share and returned to Ireland in 1862 a wealthy man.

    In 1869 he set about the task of re-building the Gelston’s business, not only was he blending and selling whiskey casks in Ireland but he was instrumental in starting to export to Australia and New Zealand, primarily into the businesses that his brothers had carried on and set-up, indeed one of these was Neill & Co. based in Dunedin and run by his brother Percival, at one time the largest spirits business in New Zealand.

    Harry successfully ran the business until his death in 1891 when the business moved to another H.J. Neill of the next generation, five generations later the Samuel Gelston’s brand is still in the hands of the Neill family and is yet again developing a worldwide following.

  • Single & Single

    Single & Single

    The Single & Single signature lies not in how our whiskies taste, but in how they make you feel. That’s said, we are uncompromising in what we seek out: cask strength, single cask, singularly exquisite, enticing, unusual and ideally aged.

    We have an undying penchant for sherry-matured spirit, and are ardent admirers of Scotland’s established distilleries. But we don’t limit ourselves. Some of our whiskies have been heavily peated, others come from uncommon sources, and a few have been finished in experimental casks. Our aim is to open minds, stimulate the senses and create memorable experiences, something one style of whisky could never do.

    Our mission is to relentlessly hunt down rare, atypical casks and bottle these for the dedicated whisky lover. It’s what we’ve always done, and it’s what fuels our future quests.

  • Six Isles Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

    Six Isles Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

    The Six Isles brings together exceptional single malts from six different Scottish Islands.

    Unbound by a single style or locale, these whiskies are connected by wilderness alone. Dawn breaking over the Black Cuillin of Skye. Waves crashing at nightfall on Jura. Spirits whispering at Orkney’s standing stones. Each sip is the essence of island life, a tale no guidebook could ever convey. This blend of malts creates new from the ancient. Rounded and complex to the last – each drop a passage to the rich landscapes of Scotland’s islands.

  • Starward

    Starward

    It uses Australian barley and is aged in apera casks (Austalian sherry). Starward’s journey started in 2004 when its founder, David Vitalie, opened a new distillery with local investors.

    His mission was to produce a whisky which has a balance of tradition and innovation. Its single malt is complex with rich, sweet and spicy aromas.

  • Talisker

    Talisker

    Despite its remote location, Talisker's whisky is well known around the world.

    One of the key single malts in owner Diageo's large portfolio, it produces a distincly maritime whisky, balancing sea spray and smoke with a classic peppery character. In recent years, the iconic ten-year-old has been joined by a range of other drams, all showing different sides to the distillery's versatile character.

  • The Glenturret

    The Glenturret

    Originally owned by Sir Patrick Murray of Ochtertyre, The Glenturret Distillery is mentioned in the purchase records of the Barony of Ochtertyre as far back as 1763.

    Today, the distillery still sits proudly in its original location on the edge of the historic town of Crieff. Known locally as ‘The Hosh’ – it is a picturesque and secluded setting that has long provided a home for distillers, both legal and illicit.

    In March 2019, The Glenturret Distillery was purchased by a joint venture led by The Lalique Group. Preserving the traditional methods of whisky making continue to be at the heart of the brand however there is an exciting and imaginative reinvention of this historic site taking place. The bottle designed by Lalique and new whiskies crafted by the highly respected Whisky maker, Bob Dalgarno in small batches by hand, eye and heart come together in an era-defining moment that unites Glenturret’s contemporary elegance with the distillery’s long-standing reputation for traditional craftsmanship.

    The Glenturret’s three touchstones, which they fondly call, ‘The Trinity’, underpin everything they do, and together, shape the character of their spirit. The Trinity combines the extraordinary Provenance of people, place and spirit with their traditional Prowess in handcrafted whisky making and an enduring Passion to bring whisky lovers moments to treasure in spirit and glass.

  • The Lindores Abbey Distillery

    The Lindores Abbey Distillery

    Our journey began twenty years ago with a visit from acclaimed whisky writer Michael Jackson who wrote in his book ‘Scotland and its whiskies’ “For the whisky-lover, it is a pilgrimage” he was writing of Lindores Abbey and that inspired our founder and ‘Custodian of Lindores’ Drew McKenzie Smith to establish a state of the art distillery on this sacred ground, working closely with Forsyth’s of Rothes and the late Dr Jim Swan.

    We started distilling in 2017 and whilst our spirit matured we created our ‘Aqua Vitae’, a botanical spirit infusing our award-winning new make spirit with herbs foraged from the Abbey ruins and spices to create a beautiful light spirit drink. Then in 2020, our New Make Spirit was voted the best in Scotland and we were delighted when we released our first single malt earlier this year to much acclaim and to be presenting it to the whisky connoisseur’s attending The Whisky Exchange Whisky Show. 

  • The Oxford Artisan Distillery

    The Oxford Artisan Distillery

    From the moment The Oxford Artisan Distillery was a twinkle in our eye, we knew our distillery would be different. Not different for different’s sake, but different to be better; to be more sustainable, more thoughtful, more considerate of the world around us.

    Working with our organic and regenerative farming partners, mostly within 50 miles of our distillery in Oxford, this is sustainable artisan production at its best; regenerating the land, supporting biodiversity and managing every stage from seed to still and into the bottle, with the use of absolutely no pesticides, fungicides or herbicides.

    At our distillery’s home, a carefully restored, Grade II listed, 18th century threshing barn, our whiskies are produced from our unique heritage grains in our Steampunk-esque still, Nautilus. Nautilus was painstakingly built from scratch to an original design by South Devon Railway Engineering, a team of steam engine craftsmen and some of the last great industrial coppersmiths in England – the team rebuilt the boiler of no less than the Flying Scotsman.

    The production of rye whisky has been part of The Oxford Artisan Distillery’s core plan from day one, with the first casks laid down more than 3 years ago, a few months after the distillery opened in July, 2017. The first three batches of Oxford Rye Whisky launched this year to wide acclaim, with Oxford Rye Whisky Batch #4 to follow in September 2021 and further expressions in the coming months.

  • The Singleton

    The Singleton

    A favourite of whisky blenders, the majority of the spirit produced Dufftown goes into the vats to make Diageo's huge range of blended whiskies.

    However, Dufftown took centre stage in 2009 when it was chosen as the European representative of the revived Singleton brand, designed as an easy-drinking gateway single malt to introduce new drinkers to the category.

  • Toki

    Toki

    Toki – the Japanese word for time – is a blended whisky that exemplifies the modern style of whisky making in Japan.

    Blended to carefully balance the strong characters of its three component distilleries, it's equally at home sipped or mixed.

    • Chita grain whisky brings a clean, vanilla sweetness.
    • Hakushu American Oak Cask whisky adds fresh, mellow notes of green apple.
    • Yamazaki whisky brings multi-layered notes with fruit and Mizunara aromas.
  • Tomatin

    Tomatin

    Founded in 1897, Tomatin only really got going a decade later in 1909. From there it slowly but surely grew, adding more stills until it hit a colossal 23 in 1974, making it the largest distillery in Scotland with a notional capacity of 10 million litres per annum.

    Unfortunately the downturn of the 1970s hit Tomatin hard and it didn't get the chance to hit its maximum capacity. By 1986 it had closed. However, Japanese investors stepped in and saved the distillery, and has been rebuilding both its reputation and production ever since.

    Now well known for its excellent single malts, Tomatin is back on top and growing. We look forward to seeing what treats they bring to the show.

  • Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey

    Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey

    Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey is the Most Awarded American Whiskey or Bourbon of 2019, 2020, and 2021. The brand honours Nearest Green, the first known African American master distiller. 

    Affectionately nicknamed Uncle Nearest by his friends and family, Green is credited with helping perfect the globally recognised Lincoln County Process, which is the only thing that distinguishes Tennessee Whiskey from Kentucky Bourbon (other than geography). This unique filtering of bourbon through sugar maple charcoal was named after the county where Nearest lived and made whiskey.

    Today, our Master Blender and Nearest’s 5th-generation descendant, Victoria Eady Butler, continues his legacy of excellence as the first African American master blender for a major brand. Uncle Nearest is the fastest-growing American whiskey in history and our three ultra-premium whiskeys have garnered more than 310 awards and accolades throughout the world since the brand’s July 2017 U.S. debut.

  • Westland

    Westland

    Unlike most distilleries in the USA, Westland do not make a traditionally American style of whiskey.

    Instead they pioneer the distilling team's own interpretation of the single malt whiskies made elsewhere in the world. With a range that encompasses the light and fruity, and the heavy and peaty, Westland is pushing the boundaries of distilling in America.

  • Woodford Reserve

    Woodford Reserve

    The art of making fine bourbon first took place on the site of the Woodford Reserve Distillery, a National Historic Landmark, in 1812. You get that sense of history. The history of bourbon is the history of Kentucky, is the history of the United States.

    Woodford Reserve was inspired by generations of experience and crafted under the guidance of Master Distiller Emeritus Chris Morris, and Master Distiller Elizabeth McCall. Together, they have been integral in driving innovation and shaping the story of Woodford Reserve, sharing the belief that the keys to making the World’s Finest Bourbon are not only time and patience, but science and art. Chris began his career in bourbon in 1976, while Elizabeth moved from her 9-year tenure in R&D to Assistant Master Distiller in 2018. Together they craft whiskeys that are a spectacle for the senses.

    Woodford Reserve is a super-premium, craft bourbon that is a product of the Woodford Reserve Distillery, located in the heart of Kentucky's Bluegrass Region. Woodford Reserve has quickly become a highly acclaimed, award-winning bourbon which is savoured by consumers worldwide.

  • Yamazaki

    Yamazaki

    Yamazaki is Japan's oldest distillery and still the top selling single malt whisky produced in the country.
