Ian Millar, Master Distiller

"Aged for a minimum of eight years in select American and European oak, then overwintered in Shetland in rich sherry casks, bringing remarkable depth and character."

As this is a collaboration between us and Lerwick Distillery, we're leaving the fulfilment of the Whisky to the professional Whisky makers.

THIS STARTED IN SHETLAND.

Earlier this year Lerwick invited us up to Shetland for Up Helly Aa. It ended up being one of our favourite Bear&Wolf trips so far.

We spent time at the distillery and saw more of Shetland. Then we did the important bit on a beach and tasted through Lerwick's current line-up. Terrible day at work.

This was the whisky we kept going back to.

Somewhere in there we asked, half joking, how we end up with a Bear&Wolf whisky of our own.

A few months of conversations later, there are now 300 bottles.

THE ONE WE CHOSE

We tasted a good chunk of Lerwick's current line-up before deciding what should go in our bottle.

This was the one.

It's a blended Scotch whisky. The blend is 50% malt and 50% grain. It's bottled at 43% ABV and non-chill filtered.

ON THE BOTTLE
