Halewood Artisanal Spirits has sourced a cask of 28-year-old single malt Scotch for a limited bottling from its John Crabbie & Co brand.

Comprising liquid distilled at an unnamed distillery in Speyside’s Glenlivet valley, John Crabbie & Co 28-Year-Old Speyside Single Malt is available from this week in the UK company’s home market. Packaged in a wooden case, all 260 bottles from the cask will be available from spirits specialists, predominantly online.

“John Crabbie was well-renowned for sourcing whiskies from the very best distilleries in Scotland,” said the brand’s commercial controller for Scotland, John Kennedy. “This 1992 Speyside Single Malt is certainly no exception. Given the … the real rarity of an age release from this Speyside distillery, … with the price point, and the limited production, we don’t think it’ll be available for long.”

Late last year, Halewood kicked off production at the Sadler’s distillery in the UK for its Peaky Blinder range of spirits.
