Der Wanderer

The road less travelled can be a lonely one. We place terroir-defined natural flavour at the centre of our map – navigating this new path is every bit as interesting as the destination; the effort rewarding, the view euphoric. Head Distiller Ned with Kirsch, fellow travellers on our whisky wanderings, have explored the latitudes & longitudes of our Single Farm Origins to concoct this sweet & smokey refreshment for the road, as long & winding as it may last.

A Micro Cuvée Explainer

The spirit of a Micro Cuvée is intended to be fun and frivolous. We managed to smuggle a bottle of Pique-Nique – last summer's very limited Micro Cuvée – to our founder and CEO Mark Reynier, whilst he was at home on Islay. Here he explains the mood of a Micro Cuvée: what these little bottlings are all about.
