The Distillers One of One Auction is a biennial series of ultra-rare whisky auctions, which launched in 2021. To date, the Auctions have raised £4.3 million, principally awarded to the Youth Action Fund with the aim of supporting young people in Scotland, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, to reach their potential and make a positive contribution to their communities.

The cumulative employability outcome (to June 2025) currently stands at 2,271.

Gregor Hannah, founder of Hannah Whisky Merchant, comments:

“We are incredibly proud to unveil this release, created in collaboration with Steven and his remarkable artwork. Building on the success of last year, we chose to dedicate the entire outrun to Samhain. While last year’s focus was on Octaves, this year we’ve returned to casks more in line with those used in our core outruns. The scale has also grown – from around 360 bottles last year to approximately 1,210 in this limited-edition outrun.

Together, we’ve selected six casks that are each unique yet united by their exceptional quality. As always with Lady of the Glen, every release is Single Cask, Cask Strength, and Non-Chill Filtered – a commitment to authenticity that defines our work. Each whisky is paired with a story inspired by Scottish folklore, both ancient and more recent, carefully matched to the character of its distillery. This release is not only a celebration of whisky but also of Scotland’s rich cultural heritage.”

From Jerez to the Thames:

The London Distillery Company launches Embarque

The London Distillery Company (TLDC) is proud to unveil its second single malt whisky: Embarque – a sherry-forward single malt tribute to London’s historic docks and the centuries-old trade that carried casks from Spain’s bodegas to the city’s maritime heart.

The London Dock in Wapping opened in 1805 and immediately became synonymous with luxury imports. Its vast warehouse complexes, underground wine vaults, and specialist facilities could handle thousands of casks at once. Here, sherry casks from Spain were unloaded, inspected, stored, blended, and bottled. The scale was immense: by the 1850s, exports of sherry from Jerez had grown to more than 30,000 casks a year, demanding ever larger bodegas in Spain and ever more extensive warehousing in London. Whilst these casks were initially used to transport the sherry, whisky merchants soon discovered the transformative effects of the time the sherry had spent in contact with the wood – and once emptied, many of these well-travelled vessels then went on to find a second life in whisky maturation.

Embarque continues this story. Rich with the influence of sherry wood, yet bold with the spirit of London craftsmanship, the expression stands as a testament not only to the transformative power of sherry cask maturation but also to the trans-Iberian shipping routes that once brought thousands of these casks into London’s historic docks, and in doing so, reshaped both the future of whisky and the capital itself.  

Embarque will be released on Friday 3rd October at an RRP of £89.95 and will be available directly from The London Distillery Company’s website. Visitors to The Whisky Show (3rd–5th October) will be the first to taste the new whisky and will also have the opportunity to purchase it directly from the onsite show shop. 

The new London single malt, showcasing a striking stylised depiction of the London Docks, has been crafted from hand-selected TLDC single malts, first matured in refill barrels before being finished in exceptional first-fill oloroso sherry casks from Bodegas Barbadillo. These seasoned casks have lent TLDC’s heritage grain-led spirit remarkable depth and oxidative complexity – the dialogue between Spain and London revealing layers of concentrated dried fruit, nuts, and spice, while preserving the whisky’s core character.

Speaking of the release, TLDC Managing Director & Whisky Maker Matt McKay said: “Embarque represents a deliberate step in how we’re building The London Distillery Company’s whisky profile. By selecting refill casks for the primary maturation, we preserved the clarity of our heritage grain spirit, and the finishing period in first-fill oloroso sherry casks from Barbadillo has added structure, weight, and oxidative richness without masking the underlying DNA of the whisky. This release demonstrates our commitment to combining precision cask management with respect for the traditions that underpinned the creation of the original TLDC spirit, Spanish coopering, and the pivotal role the London docks once played in bringing these worlds together.”

Earlier this year, The London Distillery Company signalled its rebirth with the launch of Renascence – “The Revival Release.” Crafted from Plumage Archer heritage barley and matured in a marriage of refill barrels and first-fill sherry casks, the release of 410 bottles sold out in under 24 hours.

TAPPING INTO EXCELLENCE: ONE CASK AT A TIME

Independent Bottler Unveils Collection of Single Cask Bottlings with Contactless Technology

One Cask at a Time launches debut collection of single cask malt whiskies

Three ranges – Chronograph, Pendulum and Grandfather – celebrate time and its role in transforming whisky

Each bottle features contactless technology to verify ownership and open up an interactive digital experience

Grandfather Highland Park 27YO and Aultmore 33YO IWSC Silver Medallists

Independent bottler One Cask at a Time makes its debut with an eponymous collection of six exceptional single cask malt whiskies, each selected and released at cask strength to capture the perfect moment of discovery, their stories unlocked by tapping the bottle neck with a smartphone.

Honouring the enduring traditions and values of whisky-making, in particular the transformative role of time on the liquid, while using the latest contactless technology to both verify each individually numbered bottle and enhance the experience, One Cask at a Time celebrates the past, present and future of whisky craftsmanship in all its forms.

“Only casks of exceptional quality have been chosen for bottling under the One Cask at a Time label,” explains Russell Bradley, Head of Brand Development. “A testament to the art of whisky making and a tribute to the role time has to play in transforming a whisky, each cask has been hand selected for their unique qualities – bottling a moment in time to share with the world”.

The collection consists of three series carefully curated to appeal to different audiences and tastes: Chronograph, Pendulum and Grandfather. Whilst each bottle is the embodiment of aged perfection – a celebration of time and the magic it can imbue on a dram, together they take the collector on a journey of discovery from the more accessible whiskies through the innovative and one-of-a-kind drams to the rare and refined collector’s items.

A fully interactive experience unfolds using One Cask at a Time’s pioneering digital ‘Bottle Passport’ feature, which chronicles the origins of the liquid from the day the cask was filled to the day it was bottled. Every story is delivered through expert tasting notes (Grandfather collection also features video tasting notes), cask history and bottling details, all of which are revealed by tapping the icon on the bottle neck with a smartphone. It also acts as a verification tool enabling owners to authenticate their purchases and allows them to build their own personal collections, with their own tasting notes.

“We’re here to add something new to the world of whisky for the next generation,” adds Russell. “The contactless icon on the bottle neck allows owners to instantly verify the authenticity of their purchase, it also takes them to the app where they can learn about every aspect of the bottle and the liquid it contains. But whilst we very much look to the future it’s important to know that without the hands of time, good whisky can never become exceptional.”
