Meet The Bottler
Since first importing whisky casks from Scotland in 2013 under the Premiumcask brand, which has since been sold, the team has followed its own path. The ambition was never to become just another independent bottler, but to work on its own terms: exceptional casks, selected for the close-knit community that surrounds it.
For the Famiglia, whisky is a labour of love.
Old sherry casks tucked away in small bodegas. Wine barrels that others overlook. An uncompromising commitment to quality. Long-standing friendships and trusted connections give the team access to remarkable casks, each chosen for what it can bring to the whisky. The decisions may not always make economic sense, but the results speak to the connoisseurs who matter most: the famiglia.
That same spirit extends to sharing. The team shares its surplus with people who are too often overlooked, organises charitable initiatives and acts on what it believes is right.
Its “Schottenschnaps” is there to be enjoyed by anyone who appreciates exceptional whisky. Those who share that appreciation are welcome members of the famiglia.

- Wood & Maturation
Where do your casks mature, and how much control do you have during maturation?
Warehouse accounts in Scotland, where we have samples drawn frequently. Smaller and more experimental stuff in German wineries and historic cellars.
- Brand Ethos
What makes your brand stand out in an increasingly crowded and competitive independent bottling landscape?
We make whisky for ourselves and our friends. Try our whisky and tell us, if we stand out.
- Value & Accessibility
If you could put just one bottle from your current or upcoming lineup into a drinker’s hands to explain your brand’s mission, which one would it be and why?
Sator Arepo. Braeval from a Grünfränkisch cask. 200 years ago this was the base of the German sweet wine “Liebfrauenmilch” not anymore, unfortunately. The grape isn`t used for modern wine production and was considered extinct. This is a whisky, that only we can offer and it tastes extraordinary with an oily texture.
Why We Built This Directory
Every listing in The Whiskey Wash directory of independent bottlers is free and non-commercial. No bottler pays to be included, and nobody can pay for a better spot.
We built it because we love whisky, and independent bottlers are some of the most interesting people in it. They find the casks distilleries never release themselves, take chances on unusual finishes and keep the names of lost distilleries on the shelf.
Nothing like it has existed since ScotchWhisky.com closed. This is our attempt to fill that gap and introduce drinkers to the people behind the casks.
