WhiskyHeroes’ Adventure Continues: Third Release Now Unleashed!
.webp)
We’re excited to share our Third Release of our WhiskyHeroes series! After the first two releases found their way onto shelves around the world, we’re keeping the momentum going with another batch of characterful bottlings. It’s been a brilliant journey so far — seeing whisky fans embrace the idea behind WhiskyHeroes has been a huge encouragement for our small team.
As always, we’re travelling across all corners of Scotland, with a mix of peated and unpeated gems to discover. Highlights include censored whisky from the Highlands, matured in a lively tequila cask, a bold 1st fill Tennessee Bourbon Barrel release, and the return of a fan-favourite style: rich, sherry-matured single malts that have always been a hit with WhiskyHeroes followers. Whether you’re after something smoky, sweet, spicy, or just downright different — we think there’s a new hero here for everyone.

For anyone new to the series, WhiskyHeroes is all about celebrating great single casks and small batch whiskies from across Scotland.

Each whisky we select has its own story to tell, and we’re proud to give them a platform in the way only indie bottlers can.
Thank you for supporting us on this adventure — we hope you enjoy exploring this latest batch of WhiskyHeroes as much as we enjoyed bringing them to life. Slàinte!
