Our Ethos 

Focus on Lost Distilleries

We’re passionate about lost distilleries and believe that one of the best ways to preserve their memory and the stories that their whiskies tell is by drinking them. These samples are a great way to try rare and elusive whiskies

We hand bottle every sample and present every sample dipped in wax. The majority of The Malt Library releases are limited to just 20 samples. Once they’re gone…

Family business

We are a father and son business and have been drinking and collecting whisky for over 30 years – we bottle what we drink and drink what we bottle

No subscription required. We only ask that you subscribe to the idea that great whisky exists and is worth drinking
