Stirling Distillery releases Sons of Scotland Single Cask Whiskies

Stirling Distillery, in the heart of Scotland, has released two new single cask whiskies under their Sons of Scotland label, making it the first whisky ever released from the Stirling Castle rock.

Having produced gin right next to the historic castle since mid-2019, Stirling Distillery co- founders Cameron and June McCann are now turning their hand to whisky. Drawing on Cameron’s past career working in the whisky industry and running whisky shops in Stirling, they are now launching two single cask whiskies, named after Stirlingshire distilleries which were in operation in the 18th and early 19th century - Cashly and Arngibbon.

“We’re pleased and proud to be releasing whisky from the Castle Rock. What makes us especially excited about our Sons of Scotland range is the chance to start a new chapter in Stirling’s whisky history while celebrating Stirlingshire’s rich whisky making heritage.” says Cameron.

The Sons of Scotland range features four whiskies drawn from different regions of Scotland; the Highlands, Speyside, the Lowlands, and the Islands. The Cashly is sourced from a Highlands distillery, while the Arngibbon comes from Speyside. Both whiskies have been matured in ex-bourbon hogsheads for 8 years.

The whiskies also herald the Stirling Distillery’s whisky making plans for the future – to produce its own new-make spirit onsite next year and release its first single malt in 2024. This will mark the first time that Scotch whisky is produced at Abbey Craig. Once production begins, the distillery will also make 40 and 60 litre casks available for purchase for the general public, allowing Stirling Distillery friends and fans to become part of Stirlingshire whisky history. June is eager to get started on the distillery’s new whisky project:

“As an independent business, we consider ourselves to be the luckiest people in the world to be able to do what we’re doing in one of the world’s most famous historic locations. The chance to share some delicious whisky with the local community, fans, and friends, as well as to contribute to Stirlingshire’s whisky heritage is a dream come true.”

The Cashly and Arngibbon whiskies are available on the Stirling Distillery website for £50 a bottle.

About Stirling Distillery

Stirling Distillery We wanted to bring something unique to the ever growing world of Scottish Gin. In our recipe we feel we have achieved that goal. The result is a spirit with a big nose and very satisfying profile, whether neat or with a premium tonic of your choice. Our core gin is infused with hand picked Stirlingshire nettles, basil, lemon and orange peel, juniper and angelica root. This forms the base to our other products, all distilled at Stirling Distillery. As a result, our nearly navy strength Battle Strength Gin packs a mighty punch, while the Folklore Collection uses local fruits and herbs to create our range of gin liqueurs. Our entire range is inspired by the mythologies and history surrounding Stirlingshire and its beautiful castle. In 2019 we opened our doors at the foot of Stirling Castle. We are the first gin distillery in the beautiful city of Stirling and are proud to use local ingredients to create our outstanding Scottish spirits.
