Whisky FAQs
Is your whisky vegan?
Our single malt whiskies are unsuitable for vegans as we use a very small amount of butter during the fermentation process.

Our single malt whiskies are gluten free.
Can I buy a barrel?
Although in the past we have offered the purchasing of barrels, this is currently something we do not offer.
What is single malt whisky?
Single malt whisky is whisky made from only malted barley at a single distillery. Blending can only occur between barrels from the same distillery and no other grains can be used in the mash bill. ‘Malt’ refers to a 100% malted barley mash bill. Meanwhile, ‘single’ refers to the number of distilleries involved.
What’s the difference between single malt and blended whisky?
Single malt is produced from a single distillery while blended whisky incorporates whiskies from a range of sources. Master blenders select a range of malt or grain whiskies which complement one another. The result is usually a smooth, well-rounded, accessible spirit which can be better for mixing.
What’s the difference between Scotch and single malt?
Scotch whisky must be entirely produced in Scotland (from barley to bottling), but Scotch whiskey encompasses single malt and blended styles. Some producers even use a blend of different grains other than malt (Grain Scotch). Single malt can come from anywhere in the world, but must be made using 100% malted barley, produced from a single distillery.
