Our second outrun of 2026 is here

Our latest Lady of the Glen outrun features nine exceptional single cask whiskies from across Scotland, celebrating the diversity and character of independent bottling. This release combines sought-after distilleries, innovative wine cask maturations and several exceptionally limited bottlings.

Highlights include a beautifully waxy Clynelish 12-year-old, a richly textured Benrinnes matured in an ex-Cypriot white wine cask, and our first widely available Inchdairnie Finglassie. We’re also delighted to welcome Lindores Abbey to the Lady of the Glen range for the first time.

The collection is completed by a rare 30-year-old North British single grain whisky, bottled in support of local charity Big Hearts. As always, every cask has been hand-selected and bottled by our team in Dalgety Bay, with each release individually numbered and available in strictly limited quantities.

Please note that in order to better support our retail partners this outrun and future outruns is not being sold through our website. Links to stockists can be found via the tab on our homepage.

Clynelish 2013 – Hogshead 

DISTILLED 9th September 2013 AND BOTTLED 11th March 2026. From Scotland’s north-east corner comes a spirit famed for its fruity, waxy character with hints of smoke. Fully matured in a hogshead bringing forward refined notes of banana and vanilla.

One of Diageo’s famous “Four Corners of Scotland” distilleries and highly sought after for it’s rare waxy new-make. Therefore we are beyond delighted to offer this bottling to you. Fully matured in its original hogshead allowing this beautiful spirit to shine.

The tasting revealed Heather honey, orange blossom and dried banana.

Lindores Abbey 2019 – Bourbon Barrel

DISTILLED 1st August 2019 AND BOTTLED 2nd April 2026. Located in Newburgh, Fife and recognised for producing a fruity spirit with oily texture and medium body. Fully matured in a first fill bourbon barrel for layers of vanilla, honey and toffee.

Another one ticked off our list of distilleries we had still to bottle and another local site too. Potentially the site of the beginning of the distillation of Scotch, the distillers are focussing on a traditional style of spirit. We are honouring that focus by showcasing the very well made light and fruity make paired with a fresh bourbon barrel allowing the spirit to shine. The tasting revealed pineapple, toasted marshmallow and dried orange peel.

Glen Spey 2014 – Pineau Des Charentes

Glenlossie 2013 – Refill Palo Cortado

Inchgower 2014 – Madeira Cask

Inchdairnie (Finglassie) – Refill Madeira Qtr Cask

LIMITED RELEASES OF HIGHLY SOUGHT-AFTER AGED BOURBONS NOW AVAILABLE!

We are excited to announce that we have just received a limited allocation of a newly-released trio from King of Kentucky which are must-haves for lovers of well-aged, high-pedigree Bourbon.​

King of Kentucky was established in 1881 by John Roach, a distiller, entrepreneur, and avid horse-racing enthusiast who named it for his favorite sport. It was conceived as a single barrel expression of Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey until, after the brand was acquired by Brown-Forman (B-F) in 1936, it was converted to a blended whiskey.​

B-F decided to discontine the King in 1968 but, exactly 50 years later, revived the lapsed label, paying homage to the its past and converting it back to the original concept of an annual limited release single barrel featuring older whiskeys from the company’s precious stock. For the first time since that 2018 revival, this year’s releases include a trio of batched expressions, all made from the same mash bill (75% corn, 15% rye, 10% malted barley) and each comprised of a blend of ~100 barrels aged for 12-18 years across several of the distillery’s warehouses. The primary differentiating factor across the trio is the batch proof which, according to Master Distiller Emeriti Chris Morris, highlights specific aspects of each blend. This new approach allows the company to tap into reserve stock barrels that, due to evaporation over time, individually would not be viable candidates for a single barrel release. However, incorporated into carefully composed blends, yield outstanding results. Later in the year, the single barrel offerings will be released.

While it is yet to be determined whether the batched releases will continue as an annual offering, critical review of these releases suggest that B-F has a winner on their hands. We invite you to check out details below and claim your bottles quickly as they will disappear fast.

Cheers!
