New Claxton's Warehouse No.8 Releases

Claxton's represents one of the best indie selections we've tasted in recent times. This family run, Yorkshire-based company is no different to other good indies; They bottle all-natural single cask whiskies and have been passionate collectors for decades. Since 2015, family members have been meeting together to decide what gets bottled (naturally, elders get the final vote). What sets Claxton's apart is a quality / price ratio that more than a few independents have lost sight of. Given the current exchange rate, the value really is remarkable (direct import pricing has helped further sharpen the deal).

The Warehouse No.8 label (so named because it contains predominantly octaves and smaller casks types) covers exceptionally small outturns, often in the range of just 60-70 bottles. All are bottled ‘in house’ at Dalswinton Bond on the estate in the Lowlands. Presented in heavy-set rectangular decanters, all whiskies are natural strength, non chill filtered and come with the highest recommendation.
