This cask of Bunnahabhain was filled on 9th January 2025 with new make spirit at 63.5% ABV. Matured in a first-fill bourbon cask, it promises to combine the intense smoky and maritime qualities of Islay peat with the sweet, creamy, and vanilla-rich influence of fresh bourbon oak. The high phenol content in the spirit sets the stage for a bold flavour profile, with layers of peat smoke balanced by oak-driven notes as the whisky matures. At the time of filling, the cask was estimated to yield approximately 250 bottles.

Included in the price is three years professional storage and insurance at Braeside Bond.

Royal Brackla Distillery was established in 1812 by Captain William Fraser near Cawdor in the Scottish Highlands. It was the first Scotch whisky to receive a Royal Warrant, awarded in 1833 by King William IV, a distinction held by only three distilleries. Ownership passed through several hands before becoming part of John Dewar & Sons under Bacardi Limited.

Royal Brackla produces whisky using traditional Highland methods, with Oregon pine washbacks and copper pot stills featuring boil balls to refine the spirit. Water from the Cawdor Burn contributes to the whisky’s Highland profile.

The Bonnington Distillery, located in Leith, Edinburgh, marks the revival of single malt whisky production in the area after nearly a century. Commissioned in December 2019 and commencing production in March 2020, it serves as the modern home for the historic Crabbie whisky brand.

Equipped with a 2.5-tonne mash tun and six 10,000-litre fermentation vessels, Bonnington Distillery ferments wort for at least 48 hours. Its two bespoke squat-neck stills, crafted by Speyside Copper Works, are designed to produce a spirit with a heavier, more Highland character, diverging from traditional Lowland styles. The distillery sources water from an ancient aquifer 147 meters beneath the site and utilizes both peated and unpeated malt, allowing for a diverse range of whisky expressions. Under the guidance of distillery manager Jamie Lockhart and master blender Jill Boyd, the team is developing a variety of releases, including the flagship single malt and limited editions.
