Our first drops of spirit

Welcome to the family

To mark the launch of Balmaud, we are offering a limited number of private casks — each one representing a rare opportunity to own a piece of our earliest spirit.

This isn’t just a purchase. It’s a moment in time. A chance to shape the first chapter of our story — and to enjoy something deeply personal, deeply rooted.

This is a chance for you to mark a special moment, be that the birth of family member, an anniversary, a special occasion, or your discovery and partnership with our distillery.

FAMILY GROWN FOR THREE GENERATIONS, THIS IS OUR SPIRIT.

The journey of cask ownership

Filling

Every cask will be filled, stored, and matured here on site in our bonded warehouse, watched over carefully as the years unfold.

Storage

Your cask will mature on-site in our bonded warehouse for up to 8 years, with the potential to extend maturation period, to be agreed with distillery.

Sampling

Over time, the spirit will deepen in character shaped by the cask, the air, and the passage of seasons. Samples will be available upon request, and our team will guide you through key decisions from bottling timing to flavour profile development.

Security

Each cask is insured at purchase and securely stored in our on-site bonded warehouse throughout its maturation, with the option of a cask buy-back available.

THE BEGINNING OF THE FARMING

01

1902 - 1940

A Highland Single eState Distillery

A MOMENT IN HISTORY IS UNFOLDING

As one of the only Highland single estate distilleries, we offer something truly rare: complete provenance. From field to bottle, every step of our whisky’s journey happens on our estate,  the barley is grown in our fields, the water drawn from our land, and the spirit distilled and matured on-site.

This unique level of control ensures exceptional quality, a lighter environmental footprint, and an authentic expression of our Highland terroir. It’s whisky with a true sense of place, crafted with integrity, rooted in heritage.

Our barley is grown and harvested in the fields surrounding the distillery, a deliberate choice to preserve freshness, flavour, and a connection to place. The soil is carefully conditioned, nourished and watched closely through the changing seasons. We plant early, giving our crop more time to develop. The result is a raw ingredient that speaks of its landscape, refined, reliable, and rich in character.

We are offering a limited release of first-fill casks from the earliest days of distillation at Balmaud. Each cask is stored on-site at our bonded warehouse, located on the land where the barley was grown — a true single estate spirit.
