We love the festive season here at Abbey Whisky!

The cold and frosty weather, fun times with friends and family and copious amounts of eating and drinking…what better excuse to enjoy a special wee dramin celebration!

December heralds the return of Abbey Whisky’s Winter Whisky Festival for 12 days on the run up to Christmas. On each of these days we will feature a dailyoffer on a range of special malts. In keeping with the season, these prices will remain frozen for the duration of the festival.

On the second day of Christmas Abbey Whisky gives to you…

The Rare Malts Selection

The Rare Malts Selection; a collection of remarkable cask-strength single malt Scotch whiskies drawn from among the rarest, most precious whisky stocks to survive in Scotland.

Often twenty or more years of age, these cask strength whiskies come from distilleries that are either still in operation, mothballed or have sadly become part of Scotland’s Lost Distilleries. These malts are so rare that many will never be seen again.

Made without chill filtering or colour additives, The Rare Malts Selection are natural cask strength whiskies taken from the highest quality casks. During selection of The Rare Malts only if at least three casks from a single year show identical consistency and of perfect quality where they then bottled.

The Rare Malts Selection has received over 24 awards at the International Wine & Spirit Competition.

Here are some of our favourite malts from this series, but please note that these bottles are only available in very limited numbers.
