Our latest batch of small, bespoke bottlings available from 13th March 2026.
At Creetown bond, we wanted to pay homage to wonders on our doorstep. We visited local caves at coastal Carsluith, which were once rife with smugglers handling whisky, rum, salt and tobacco. This product is all above board, accounted for and duty paid but we thought it was fun anyway!
Batch release 21 is an 12 year old, specially selected by Martin Armstrong. Originally filled on 01/11/2013 and re-racked into an octave in May 2016 due to the original barrel having leaked. It was then bottled on 10/03/2026.
