Lady of the Glen is proud to present the limited Samhain Series: Six Single-Cask Whiskies Celebrating Scotland's Eerie and Mythical Past
Samhain Series – a limited release of six single-cask Scotch whiskies. The series celebrates Scotland’s rich folklore and eerie mythology, coinciding with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, the precursor to modern Halloween.
Each whisky in the Samhain Series tells a story through local legends, with atmospheric labels designed by Edinburgh-based artist and designer Steven Shand, who has over 13 years of experience in the Scottish whisky industry. Shand’s intricate artwork and storytelling complement the atmospheric whiskies and capture a haunting essence of Scotland’s past.
The six releases include: ● 'Grizel & The West Bow Saint' – North British Distillery Single Grain Scotch Whisky 30 Year Old, Refill Peated Octave, limited to 57 bottles. 46%
● 'Hunting For The Gorbals Vampire' – Glasgow Distillery Lowland Single Malt Scotch 5 Year Old, Refill Octave, limited to 62 bottles. 58.6%
● 'The Devil Checkmates the Wolf' – Auchroisk Distillery Speyside Single Malt Scotch 10 Year Old, 1st fill ex PX Octave, limited to 62 bottles. 60.8%
● 'The Each Uisge of the River Spey' – Benrinnes Distillery Speyside Single Malt Scotch 10 Year Old, 1st fill ex PX Octave, limited to 55 bottles. 50.8%
● 'The Ritual of Oak & Mistletoe' – Teaninich Distillery Highland Single Malt Scotch 10 Year Old, 1st fill ex PX Octave, limited to 46 bottles. 51.1%
● 'The Witch of Beinne A’Ghlo' – Blair Athol Distillery Highland Single Malt Scotch 10 Year Old, Refill Octave, limited to 53 bottles. 58.6%
Each bottle is sourced from distilleries in the Speyside, Highland, and Lowland regions. As with all Lady of the Glen releases, the Samhain Series is hand-bottled, undiluted at natural cask strength, free of chill-filtration, and retains its natural color, preserving the purity of the whisky.
Lady of the Glen has wanted to collaborate with Steven since they saw his contemporary illustration of Tam O’Shanter at the Fife Whisky Festival. His use of color and detail was both a feast for the eyes and unsettling in a good way. They decided to celebrate Scotland’s Samhain festival by pairing richly illustrated Scottish stories with distilleries from the same regions. For the series, they selected some of their finest 40-liter octaves to highlight a wide range of rich flavors that would stand out just like the stories themselves.
