A small MacHaggis update.

We landed in England today and headed straight to visit our bottler before the bottles begin their journey across the Atlantic. Naturally, quality control was required.

I’m happy to report that a bottle was opened, poured, and thoroughly inspected by the highly trained professionals involved in this operation. Their verdict: it’s every bit as spectacular as it was when we first selected it.

Which is a tremendous relief, because once you’ve spent this much time talking about a whisky, it really ought to continue being excellent.

Meanwhile, MacHaggis himself arrived for an official photo shoot with the freshly labeled bottles. As you can see, he takes his role as mascot very seriously. Or at least as seriously as a shaggy stuffed Highland cow can.

Seeing the labels on the bottles, hearing that first tasting report, and knowing they’re nearly ready to ship makes all of this suddenly feel very real.

Our first independent, private bottling is no longer an idea. It’s sitting in bottles. And if all goes according to plan, we’ll be raising a glass with many of you before too long.

Slàinte!

P.S. MacHaggis would like everyone to know that he personally supervised the tasting. We have no evidence to support this claim, but we also have no evidence to refute it. 🍂🥃🐂

We’re excited to share that we’ve completed our first WhiskeySomms release.

This is a private bottling, not for sale, created through the full process of selecting and purchasing a single barrel in partnership with a whisky broker, followed by bottling under our own label. It marks an important milestone for us and reflects the level of care and intention we plan to bring to every release.

For those who know us, you know we have a company “spirit animal”, a Highland cow puppet named MacHaggis, who has been with us for nearly a decade (and yes, we’re fairly certain he needs a bath). It felt only right that he would make his way onto this inaugural bottle.

This is our first step into barrel selection and private bottling. It will not be the last, and it’s incredibly exciting to finally step into this space because it’s exactly what we’ve been working toward.
