Event Details:
Ever wondered why you can find two whiskies from the same distillery that taste completely different? Or how some of the most exciting bottles in the whisky world don't actually come from the distilleries themselves?
Welcome to the fascinating world of Independent Bottlers!
Join us at Inverurie Whisky Shop as we explore the people and companies who bring us some of whisky's most interesting, unusual and occasionally downright extraordinary releases.
From long-established names to smaller, innovative bottlers, we'll discover how independent bottlers source their casks, select their whiskies and put their own unique stamp on the spirit inside.
We'll explore everything from single cask releases and unusual cask finishes to hidden gems from lesser-known distilleries. Along the way, we'll discuss why independent bottlings can offer something completely different from the familiar distillery expressions we know and love.
Of course, the best way to understand it all is with a dram in hand! We'll taste our way through a selection of independently bottled whiskies, exploring the different approaches, styles and personalities that make this side of the whisky industry so exciting.
Whether you're already a fan of independent bottlings or have always wondered what makes them special, this promises to be a relaxed, entertaining and informative evening full of great whisky, a few surprises and plenty of blether.
Because sometimes the most interesting whisky stories are told by someone other than the distillery!
