WhiskyHeroes: Batch 4 Has Landed

January 16, 2026

We’re back with another round, Batch 4 of WhiskyHeroes is here, and it might just be our most adventurous selection yet. After the excitement and warm reception of our previous releases (huge thanks, as always), we’ve kept our noses to the cask and found a fresh set of seven bold, brilliant characters that deserve their moment in the spotlight.

This release takes us on a wild ride through Scotland’s whisky regions, from the windswept shores of Islay to the Lowlands, Highlands, and Speyside. There’s smoke and sherry, bourbon and barley, mystery, mischief, and maybe a few ghosts. Expect some returning favourites, and a few unexpected twists , including a rare, moody dram from Torabhaig on Skye and a "teaspooned" Lowland malt with a serious smoky side.

As always, WhiskyHeroes is about celebrating individuality — single casks and small batches with strong personalities and big flavours. Every whisky in this lineup has been hand-picked by our small team, and every one tells its own story. Here’s what’s in Batch 4:

As always, WhiskyHeroes is about celebrating individuality. Every whisky in this lineup has been hand-picked by our small team, and every one tells its own story. We love sharing the kind of drams we genuinely enjoy ourselves — bold, distinctive, sometimes a little offbeat. Alongside the whiskies, we also put a lot of heart into naming each release and designing the labels to reflect the distillery character, the mood, and the whisky’s unique personality. It’s all part of the joy,  picking great casks and bringing them to life with a bit of story and spirit.

Thanks for following us on this whisky-fuelled adventure. Whether you're collecting, tasting, or just exploring the characters of each dram, we hope this new batch brings something unexpected to your shelf. Slàinte!
