Featured Product
Our inaugural release pays tribute to one of Leek's most iconic landmarks, Britannia Mill, affectionately known as The Big Mill. Standing at the heart of the town for more than 170 years, it symbolised the craftsmanship, industry and resilience that shaped the Staffordshire Moorlands.
Distilled at Glen Garioch, one of Scotland's oldest distilleries, this 10-year-old Highland single malt has been selected for its balance of character and elegance. Bottled at 46% ABV, non-chill filtered and presented in its natural colour, it is limited to just 180 individually numbered bottles.
Expect aromas of orchard fruits, soft vanilla and gentle honey, leading to a palate of ripe malt, warming spice and toasted oak. The finish is long, satisfying and subtly sweet, with the distillery's distinctive character lingering beautifully.
Like the mill that inspired it, this whisky is a celebration of heritage, craftsmanship and enduring quality.
