We have; The First Release, Our Barley, Sowing Edition, Harvest Edition, Fallow Edition, Ploughing Edition.
Shout out to Ben @TheSpiritSpecialist who did a live tasting with John Campbell and who's store I got these samples from.

This "Farm to Glass" is a new trend and I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes.
Hopefully it results in more nice whiskeys like these promising ones, and not just some fancy marketing material.
It definitely is a good initiative. Daftmill is doing amazing things with no marketing whatsoever. I don't think these youngs distilleries can afford to hide behind some fancy marketing, we would call them out and that'd be it for them. They do need the enthusiasts to survive because the general public is not gonna touch a 3 year old whisky they've never heard of.
I feel Lochlea is a distillery we want to love but they’re not there yet.
Cheers 🥃
I'm 100% behind this statement!
Right on John!
So well presented and amazing thoughts! I agree with you on everything here! Superb video!!
Thank you Christine, very happy to know that 😃

Whoops typo below! On not in!!
😁👍
P.S. The violet scent, perfume, can bother me with whisky and also gin, when I occasionally have a gin cocktail - very rarely! Not sure why but while I adore lavender and violets and other flowers and perfumes my scents in my garden, I don’t want them in my scotch!! Right in!!
I absolutely get this. I love those scents as well in the wild but definitely not in my glass 😅
Good review .
I said I'd get back to you about the Arran blends when i I tried them .
The sou wester is good slightly oily for a blend with pretty nice peat and doesn't look like coulers been added.
The loch ranza does look like coulers been added and tasted of generic wood spice at best definitely wouldn't re buy lochranza but sou wester is terrific at £22..
I use the lochranza for what a use all mediocre whiskeys. A good hot tody boiled water with good honey and whiskey is a lot nicer than drinking poor stuff neat it transforms it to a delicious bedtime drink .cheers 😉🥃
Thank you, glad you liked it and thanks for the informtation on the Arran bottles. I'll keep an eye out for the sou western then :) I do enjoy a hot toddy and yes that is also what I do with mediocre drams, drown them in other stuff in a nice cocktail 😃
