Greatdrams Independent whisky bottlers & online whisky magazine
** Cheshire Drinks Producer of the Year 2019 **

Our exclusive whisky releases, available online through GreatDrams.com/shop are all limited edition, and only available from us. Our business buys interesting casks of whisky from distilleries all around Scotland as they are maturing, to be held in duty suspension at a warehouse in Scotland that we release as and when the flavour profile is perfect and delivers on our quality assessments. Unlike m

ost of our competitors, all of our products are limited edition as they are all bottled from just one cask of whisky at a time, often with sub-300 bottles available of any given product upon release. GreatDrams Ventures is a business that provides customers with various whisky-based products and services including books, bottles of whisky and private whisky tastings. It is a product-based business spawned from the success of GreatDrams.com. Our backstory...

Editorially, GreatDrams is one man’s mission to experience, share and inspire with everything great about whisky/whiskey through stories, reviews, news, and interviews. GreatDrams was created having enjoyed single malt and blended whiskies over the years, and working with many whisky and other luxury spirits brands so Greg knew the drinks industry intimately from both sides. Over time he noticed how tough it can be for amateur tasters and collectors to enter the whisky world in particular and really get an understanding of all things malt (or grain, or rye…). This site’s aim is to democratise whisky and inspire consumers to explore flavours and brands within the market, never settling on just one favourite. The purpose of GreatDrams is to provide a platform with content for people new to drinks and those who are learning about whisky as much as those who are more experienced whisky fans because, ultimately, those interested in exploring this great drink are under-serviced by the whisky industry. GreatDrams is a place for positivity in a world where oftentimes misplaced contention for the sake of it, or to get a reason or seeming to be above others because there is a sense of anti-establishment in the tone. Away from GreatDrams, Greg also regularly writes for Whisky Magazine, Whisky Quarterly, Spiritus, The Evening Standard, The Independent, Liquor.com, Flaviar.com and various other magazines and online publications on an adhoc basis.

One last BBQ under the stars with great whisky and even better trader friends including .woodwork and Cheesy Matt.

These weekends are about far more than selling bottles. They’re about catching up with people you only see a handful of times each year, sharing a dram after a long day and putting the world to rights. Whilst Tom and Matt cool unreal dinners to accompany our awesome whisky around the fire pit.

Now time to pack up, leave the tent behind and swap the air bed for a real mattress.

One of my favourite Scottish whisky traditions.

When you open a bottle with friends, the cork goes straight into the fire.

There’s no putting it back on the shelf. The bottle is there to be shared, finished together and remembered. It’s a simple way of saying tonight is about good company, great whisky and making memories.

Apologies for the grainy footage. It was filmed around the campfire after dark, and some moments are too good not to share.

Who else has taken part in this tradition?
