Side by side: 5 from Tobermory via Paul

The Isle of Mull is home to a couple of distilleries now, the oldest being @TobDistillery, a favourite of @pswhisky

Paul shared with us a set of 3 unpeated and 2 peated Ledaig bottlings.

A Claxton's flight

I'm sure everyone knows @ClaxtonsSpirits an indie bottler who's bottles really mess up the spacing on your whisky shelves!

Their unusual square bottles really standout but they take up a lot of shelf space!

Chorlton Whisky - Four Peat Monsters

One of the smaller indie bottlers @ChorltonWhisky have released over 60 bottles each with a unique medieval style label.

Here I'm trying four of their peated bottlings:

Side by side: Na Bràithrean (brothers) from Ledaig

Na Bràithrean [na brah-rin] means “the brothers” in Scottish Gaelic. These indie bottlers pick a cask, give each a different finish and release the pair as Wee Brother and Big Brother.

Let's try a pair!
