Introducing Whiskyheroes!
Whiskyheroes is a range of spectacular single-cask whiskies and exclusive small batches, matured only in classic bourbon and sherry casks. Each bottle is infused with a dash of mischief and a pinch of heroism.
These casks are the heroes of the whisky world, so the whiskies and the presentation of the range reflect this. Each bottle is designed to be bold. Each whisky is full of character and adventure, every release is chosen for its ability to take the whisky fan on a historical flavour adventure.
Let us introduce you to the Spectacular Eight, crafted in our very own ‘Brave New Spirits’ in-house studio.
In the shadowy depths of Caol Ila distillery, where the sea meets the rugged cliffs of Islay, a whisky of mysterious allure is born. “The Haunting Songs”, matured in a first-fill Oloroso Sherry Hogshead for 12 years weaves a spellbinding tale. The sherry influence adds depth, while the peat whispers of hidden powers. As you sip, you can feel the haunting songs of the siren. A presence that weaves through time.
"Adventures in the Meadow" comes from the heart of the Scottish Highlands. It carries the essence of a hidden meadow—a place where dew-kissed green fields sway and secrets linger. This whisky, nurtured in a 2nd-fill bourbon barrel for 16 years takes you on an enchanted adventure, tracing the meadow’s footprints across the time.
“Call to Submission”, born in the heart of the Scottish Lowlands at the venerable Cameronbridge distillery, is a whisky that defies convention. Its amber depths hold the promise of adventure—a journey into the unusual. This whisky is no ordinary spirit. It has spent 14 years in a 1st-fill PX sherry hogshead, absorbing the sweet flavours of Spanish oak. Heed the call from the Lowlands, enjoy the power of grain!
In the mist-shrouded heart of Loch Lomond, where the water runs deep and ancient secrets linger, a whisky emerges—a tribute to the land, shrouded in legends. "Deep Creatures of the Lake" - 10 years old Loch Lomond, matured in 1st fill Bourbon Barrels. One head of this creature is resolute and grainy, the other expressive and malty. It’s a whisky that beckons you to explore its gentle, smoky depths. Each drop carries a tale whispered by the winds that sweep across Loch Lomond.
“Agent Ivy Trapped” is a whisky that captures the essence of mystery and adventure. This bottle emerges from Blair Athol Distillery, nestled at the gateway to the Scottish Highlands, where the ivy-clad walls guard the secrets of this place. After 12 years of maturation in 1st fill Oloroso Sherry Barrique, each sip unravels the secrets of sun-soaked vineyards and some Highland magic.
Deep within the rolling hills of Speyside, where mist clings to ancient stones and the wind carries secrets, stands Miltonduff Distillery. Next to the distillery, there is Pluscarden Abbey. It is the only medieval abbey still inhabited by monks, a sanctuary where silence weaves its magic. The water that flows into Miltonduff’s copper stills is drawn from a spring near the abbey. "An Eerie Silence” spent 13 years of its life in 1st fill Oloroso Sherry Hogshead. The whisky was cocooned in darkness, as the sherry slowly soaked into the wood, creating the flavours that echo the timeless communion of spirit and silence.
In the heart of Speyside where ancient forests whisper secrets and the air carries the scent of forgotten legends stands Linkwood Distillery. “The Awakening” is a 13 year old single malt, matured in Sherry Butt, which transcends mere liquid, weaving a tale of wood and spirit. Each golden drop transports you to a moss-covered glade where the forest breathes anew and flavours come to life.
In the rolling hills of Dumfries and Galloway the Annan River weaves its silver thread and the ancient town of Annan emerges. A place steeped in history where kings once walked and legends were etched into the very stones. “Defender of the Crown” hails from Annandale distillery. It has spent 8 years of its life in a 1st fill Oloroso Sherry butt, where Annandale’s peat has slowly absorbed some of Olororo’s flavours of figs and raisins. As you raise your glass remember the centuries enveloped into its amber depths. The kings, the poets, and the quiet resilience of a distillery reborn.
Every bottle of Whiskyheroes is an invitation to embark on a flavour-filled adventure. Whether you’re sipping by the fireplace or sharing tales with fellow whisky enthusiasts, these drams will transport you to realms unknown. So raise your glass, channel your inner hero, and toast to Whiskyheroes—the ultimate blend of character, courage, and cask-aged magic. Excelsior!
