We are very excited that bottling of our new release is now completed and will start making its way to all our lovely customers next week.

We had hoped to see you all in Campbeltown this year for our first ever Watt Whisky & Friends Festival however, given the ongoing uncertainty with Covid, like many others we have decided to go Virtual this year. We have a range of events lined up – some hosted by us and others by some […]
