RARE FIND
SUMMER 2026

FOUR DISTINCT JOURNEYS OF MATURATION


This latest Rare Find collection brings together four distinctive single casks that explore the relationship between spirit and wood across some of Scotland's most compelling whisky styles.

Opening the line-up is a 12-year-old Blair Athol finished in 1st fill ex-bourbon oak, showcasing the distillery's rich, honeyed character with remarkable clarity and balance. Alongside it sits a 14-year-old Deanston matured in a Napa Valley red wine barrique, where the Highland distillery's waxy, cereal-led spirit meets layers of dark fruit and gentle spice.

Completing the collection is a fascinating pair of 9-year-old whiskies both finished oloroso sherry quarter casks. A vibrant Dalmunach demonstrates how active sherry maturation enhances the fruity character of modern Speyside spirit, while a mystery Islay malt reveals an altogether different expression of the same cask influence, where smoke, coastal character and rich sherry notes intertwine.

Together, these four releases form a study in contrast and character. From the purity of bourbon maturation to the influence of red wine and the intensity of oloroso sherry, each bottling offers a unique perspective on the interaction between spirit and wood. Distinctive, individual and bottled at their natural best, they continue Rare Find's commitment to uncovering exceptional single-cask Scotch whisky.

Speaking on the new collection, James Zorab, Whisky Supply Manager for Rare Find, commented: "Every cask tells a different story, and this collection is all about showcasing those contrasts. Whether it's the modesty of bourbon maturation, the influence of premium wine casks or the intensity that quarter cask sherry maturation can bring, each whisky demonstrates how carefully selected wood can reveal different dimensions of a distillery's character. Together, they represent exactly what Rare Find seeks to achieve - exceptional single casks that offer something distinctive, memorable and genuinely worth discovering."
