With December on the horizon, we’re getting into the seasonal spirit by sharing some ultra-rare gems – and we have one truly exceptional bottling that is sure to surprise and delight the senses.

Say a BIG festive hello to our new Vaults Collection Cask 27.114: Sticky Toffee Axle Grease Pudding. From Distillery 27, casks like this simply don’t come along very often and we’re delighted to be able to share it with our Society members.

This one came from within the ranks of our own membership – someone who bought it from this Campbeltown distillery in the 1990s and who subsequently approached the Spirits Team to see if we might be interested. We certainly were!

STICKY TOFFEE AXLE GREASE PUDDING

Cask No. 27.114

Step into our steam-powered kitchen, where swirling funnel smoke meets grease-coated cogs and buckets of petrol marinade. With sizzle and sizzle, beef cheeks simmer in a sweet bramble and sherry jus, while parsnips get a glaze of heather honey and shisha tobacco.

And now, the pièce de résistance: a whisky that has spent a remarkable 25 years in an ex-bourbon hogshead. It then ventured into a first-fill Spanish oak Pedro Ximénez hogshead for its final 5 year, infusing it with a depth and complexity that’ll leave you speechless.
