Our Master Distiller, Ian Millar, has created an exceptional blended Scotch to celebrate Shetland’s legendary Festival of Fire - a tribute to the wild Viking spirit of the islands.

Our Up Helly Aa 2025 Special Edition is a sensational blend of premium malt and grain scotch whiskies. Matured for a minimum of 8 years in select American and European oak, then overwintered in Shetland in rich Sherry casks, it's a whisky of remarkable depth and character.

Blended to an indulgent 50/50 malt-to-grain ratio and bottled at a bold, Viking-strength 58%, this non-chill filtered, small-batch expression is truly worthy of its smouldering inspiration.

Master Distiller's notes

"We’ve been extremely indulgent with this one off special release for Up Helly Aa, a blend from spectacular casks. We bottled it at ‘Viking Strength’, 58%, though a wee bit o' Shetland water opens up the flavours and aromas even further, revealing new layers of complexity and delight."

Ian Millar, Master Distiller

Nose

A wave of sweet, creamy vanilla, followed by freshly grated cinnamon and nutmeg. An exotic hint of light coconut, brown sugar. A whisper of lemon zest in the background.

Palate

A big sweet hit front of mouth, dark fruity notes from the Sherry casks. Rich, rounded and palatable at 58%, whilst water will reveal more.

Finish

Long and warming, with the dark fruit notes and sherry influence lingering. A hint of spice returns, leaving a tingle on the tongue.
