THE LAND OF THE WILD SPIRIT
WHISKY WITH PURPOSE ~ REVIVING A WHISKY TRADITION, REGENERATING A COMMUNITY
A PLACE WHERE WILDNESS LIVES AGAIN
They called it The Cabrach. ‘A place of antlers and trees’ is the rough translation. Aye, ’rough’. Because nothing ever came easy here. All was hard-earned. The growing of crops and, when abundance allowed, the distilling of whisky too – despite the efforts of the elements and the exciseman to thwart them.
But fallow years followed. People left. Memories faded. Wild seeds flourished in abandoned crofts. Yet the area – ever resilient – refused to yield. And slowly, over time, shoots of change have emerged at this rugged edge of Speyside.
For the wild spirit, at The Cabrach Distillery, lives again. A tale of renewal like no other, written by its own community. Now, the place of antlers and trees, and illicit stills, and stories to tell, is roused once more. Its long sleep is over.
THE FEERING BLENDED MALT ~ SERIES 1-3
In the North East, a ‘feering’ is the first furrow ploughed, which acts as guide for all the rest. Whilst you wait for the inaugural release of The Cabrach Single Malt Scotch Whisky, discover our limited edition series - The Feering Blended Malt - a collection curated by Alan Winchester created with casks hand selected from local Speyside distilleries.
Importantly, both the second and third editions in the series, Late Crop and Deep Earth, will be exclusively bottled for members of The Cabrach Collective only.
Begin your journey with the first edition of The Feering - Early Harvest - a beautifully balanced blend of heather honey, butterscotch and soft ember smoke aromas.
THE CABRACH COLLECTIVE
The Cabrach Collective is more than a membership club - it’s our founding cohort of pioneers helping to bring a forgotten whisky tradition back to life, while directly supporting the regeneration of The Cabrach.
As one of only 1,849 founding members, you will have an inside track on progress at The Cabrach Distillery as we revive the land of the wild spirit. If you are reading this, the chances are that there’s a wildness inside you: an inquisitiveness, a passion for exploring new and old things.
