Strathearn 2014 Single Cask #44 (2017) 50cl

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.
