Limited Edition Samhain Series:
Six Single-Cask Whiskies Celebrating Scotland’s Eerie and Mythical Past

The Samhain Series is a limited-edition collection of six single-cask Scotch whiskies.

The series celebrates Scotland’s rich folklore and eerie mythology, coinciding with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, the precursor to modern-day Halloween.

Each whisky in the Samhain Series tells a tale steeped in local legend, with evocative labels designed by Edinburgh-based artist and designer Steven Shand, who has over 13 years of experience in the Scottish whisky industry. Shand’s intricate artwork and storytelling complement the atmospheric whiskies, capturing a haunting essence of Scotland’s past.

We have wanted to collaborate with Steven since seeing his contemporary illustration of Tam O’Shanter at the Fife Whisky Festival. His use of colour and detail was both a feast for the eyes and unsettling in a good way. We decided to celebrate Scotland’s Samhain festival by pairing richly illustrated Scottish stories with distilleries from the same regions. For the series, we selected some of our finest 40-litre octaves to highlight a broad range of rich flavours that would stand out like the stories themselves.”

A small amount of these bottles are available now through our website with the majority being available with our retail and export partners in the coming weeks.
