SELECTED BY OUR FOUNDER 

This unique, single cask Speyside Whisky has been selected by our founder, Mike Stuart to lead Foghouse Spirits into a new era, showcasing small batch spirits to transport you to your own memorable location.

 A UNIQUE WHISKY

The Balmenach Distillery is one of Speysides most traditional distilleries, with short fermentation, fast distillation and worm tub condensers producing a meaty, rich spirit, ideally suited to Sherry Cask maturation.

We have selected this unique Octave Cask, which yielded just 71 bottles, due to its excellent quality, portrayed it's extraordinary nose and palate.

Matured for 7 years, we bottled at just the right time to prevent the Oloroso Octave overpowering a spirit regarded as one of the finest and oldest in Speyside.

The Whisky has been bottled at Natural Cask Strength, Natural Colour and without Chill-Filtration.
