Distillation and production

Production method

Selection and blending of Scottish whiskies (blended and single malt), maturation and finishing in different casks and bottling; provision of bottling and private label services. (Brave New Spirits acts primarily as a blender/independent bottler.)

Producer history Brave New Spirits

Founded in 2020, Brave New Spirits began releasing its own bottlings from 2021 and has grown as an independent bottler and blender with a bonded warehouse in Glasgow. The company later promoted the Witchburn project, a planned distillery to produce spirits in Campbeltown for which it obtained planning permission and engaged industry technical staff.

Production philosophy

The company presents itself as a group of "passionate whiskymakers" focused on small selected productions (single cask / small batch) and on higher-volume ranges for retail; it combines the assembly and finishing of spirits purchased from third parties with proprietary bottling and private label projects.

Territory

United Kingdom — Scotland (operational base in Glasgow); planned distillery project in Campbeltown.

Awards and recognitions

International recognitions: e.g., awards/mentions for some labels (including results recorded at competitions such as IWSC for Lighthouse). The company also reports recognitions at the World Whiskies Awards.
