The Alistair Walker Whisky Company, based in Grangemouth, Central Scotland, was established in 2018. With almost 20 years’ experience in the Scotch whisky industry, I took the plunge and decided to forge my own path – as an independent bottler.
Independent bottlers, aka merchant bottlers, have been around for a long time. Quite simply, we source whiskies from different distilleries throughout Scotland (and beyond), and, when they are ready, we bottle them as single casks, in their most natural form – un-chill filtered, at natural colour, and usually at cask strength.
