Strathearn 2014 Single Cask #44 (2017) 50cl
1 of only 75 bottles from the old Strathearn Distillery Pre Douglas Laing!
VERY RARE INDEED!
The first of a new generation of small distilleries, Strathearn 'Probably Scotland's Smallest Distillery' produces single cask, single malt whisky using traditional methods.
Distilled in 2014 and matured in French Oak Octave #44 which yielded only 75 bottles
Scotland’s tiniest distillery started operation in 2013. Located in the village of Methven, close to Crieff in Highland Perthshire, it occupies a set of former farm buildings.
Production comes from an 800-litre wash still, and a spirit still with a 400-litre charge. Even the casks are tiny, only holding 50 litres – the industry standard is 200l. Flexibility has been the aim of its owners and, in common with many other new ‘craft’ start-ups, it produces gin and rum, as well as whisky.
In October 2019, it was announced that independent bottler Douglas Laing & Co had acquired Strathearn outright for an undisclosed sum – making it the company’s first distillery acquisition. Strathearn’s gin and rum products will still be available, under the ownership of a new business, The Whisky Garden Ltd.
About Strathearn
Strathearn is a small, artisanal distillery in Highland Perthshire, Scotland, known for its handcrafted single malt whisky, which prioritizes flavor and quality. Founded in 2013 by Tony Reeman-Clark, the distillery was acquired by the independent bottler Douglas Laing in 2019 and produces a small-batch, uncolored, and non-chill-filtered single malt using Maris Otter barley and a mix of ex-bourbon, sherry, and wine casks. The distillery is also notable for its unique "acorn" bottle design and is considered a pioneer of Scotland's micro-distillery trend.
