Introducing our collaborative release with Dan Woolley of Highwayman for Whisky Fair 2025
“This Highwayman batch release for the Oak Barrels Whisky Fair 2025 is named ‘Hebridean Dream’ due to its familiar flavour profile. It has been created specifically as an ode to the Western isles of Scotland where Dan has spent so much time learning about his craft and gaining inspiration for his own creations.
Matured in refill Oloroso Sherry and refill Mexican Sherry type casks before being married together and finished in 2nd fill American oak ex bourbon with fresh virgin American oak heads. It’s then bottled unfiltered at a cask strength of 55%. Lovely oily, earthy, maritime mist with wafts of gentle peat smoke reminiscent of salty beach bonfires.”
What a dram, this bottling is one of our favourite Highwayman bottlings ever. The cask influences & peat are balanced, and it makes for a dangerous drink (we certainly had a lot of it at Fair!)
