    Writing the specs on the label and placing it in the box is a great touch to the handfill experience. Beautifully shot and great to see Ben. Agree that the special releases labels brings the branding up a notch. Cheers all!

    I’ve been to the shop a handful of times and it’s great. Persuaded my wife to come to drive me back last year and I visited the bar which is a wonderful spot. Can be quite hard to keep up with their releases so I don’t chase each one but dip in now and then. Never been disappointed.

      Wanted to say the same thing. Great video, great distillery… but for the love of whisky, why can’t they get their branding right? First it was gold-embossed Flintstones font/Bermuda shorts colouring, now they’ve gone too far in the other direction with matt-sage green, muted pastels etc.
      Why???
