Stewart Whisky Company

Stiùbhart Whisky Company is an independent bottler dedicated to showcasing the diversity and individuality of Scotch whisky through carefully selected single cask and small-batch releases. Based in Scotland, the company focuses on bottling whiskies that capture a moment in time, each expression chosen for its distinctive character rather than to conform to a set “house style.”

The name Stiùbhart, derived from the Scottish Gaelic for “Stewart”, reflects the brand’s strong ties to Scotland’s cultural heritage and whisky-making traditions. This identity is carried through in both its selection process and its presentation, with an emphasis on authenticity and transparency.

Independent Bottling Philosophy

Like many of the most respected independent bottlers, Stiùbhart does not own a distillery. Instead, it sources casks from a variety of producers across Scotland’s whisky regions, from the fruit-driven Speyside to the peaty shores of Islay, and the robust Highlands to the lighter Lowlands.

Each bottling is typically:
• Single cask or limited batch, ensuring rarity and individuality.
• Non-chill filtered, to preserve mouthfeel and texture.
• Natural colour, allowing the whisky’s true hue to shine.
• Often bottled at cask strength, delivering maximum flavour intensity.

This approach appeals to whisky enthusiasts who value a more direct connection to the spirit’s origins.

From refill bourbon barrels to oloroso sherry butts, and from youthful vibrancy to decades-old maturity, the cask types and ages vary widely, making each release a unique experience.

Flavour and Presentation

The hallmark of a Stiùbhart bottling is clarity of flavour and a sense of place. By keeping intervention to a minimum, the whisky speaks for itself, whether that’s the citrus-and-smoke punch of a young Caol Ila or the deep, nutty complexity of a sherried GlenDronach.

Bottles are typically presented with clear labelling, including distillation and bottling dates, cask type, cask number, and ABV, giving drinkers full transparency about what’s in their glass.

Appeal to Whisky Enthusiasts

For whisky lovers, independent bottlers like Stiùbhart offer a way to explore familiar distilleries from a fresh perspective, as well as to discover lesser-known names and rare cask styles. Limited availability adds to the collectability, with many releases selling out quickly once word spreads among enthusiasts.

Our Selection

Our Stiùbhart Whisky Company range includes single malts from across Scotland’s major whisky-producing regions, as well as unique single grain bottlings and special cask finishes. Each bottle represents the company’s commitment to quality, individuality, and the celebration of Scotch whisky in its purest form.
