In the perpetual whisky life-cycle of beginnings and blending, is it ever possible to perfectly fulfil ambition? The whiskymaker’s inner pursuit of perfection fuels an eternal drive to better himself. His holistic role, at the helm throughout the liquid’s journey through the distillery, unlocks infinite variables and never-ending flavour possibilities.

The Whiskymaker’s Reserve is an artistic exploration of oak and blending; of flavour evolution and defining a house style. Creating a new whisky requires a framework of sorts, but there has to be room within it to play, to follow gut feeling and instinct. The architecture of each release of Whiskymaker’s Reserve will evolve in keeping with both our increasing sherry cask influence and our sense of adventure.

"Blown away by the quality of this whisky at such a young age and high strength. Outstanding stuff and can't wait for more to come."

"I would compare this favourably against any of the heavy sherry offerings from Scotland. If they can make a 4 year old or so whisky at 60.6% this friendly and drinkable, I can't wait to see what the future holds."
