The Single Cask announces charity bottling in support of Drinks Trust
The Single Cask – home to a warehouse in Glenrothes of over 3000 casks – has collaborated with drinks and hospitality charity The Drinks Trust to release an “Ultra Rare” single cask whisky from Teaninich Distillery.
Priced at £79, the charity bottling will be released via The Single Cask website today with all proceeds to support The Drinks Trust.
Born from The Single Cask’s Family Series, the 10-year-old bottling from Teaninich Distillery is 1 of only 54 bottles, finished in a Madeira wine barrel and falls under The Single Cask’s “playful” mood category. The striking label design merges casks with pineapples to highlight the fruity notes in the whisky, while using bright colours to bring a sense of happiness, inclusiveness and a warmth.
The “ultra rare” whisky has been taste-tested by The Single Cask’s expert team of taste masters; bright copper in colour with a fresh, fruity nose of passion fruit, drizzled in honey syrup. In taste it’s sweet blossom honey, with a citrus tang of blood orange, delicate spice, orange zest, and crème brûlée.
The whisky bottler recently took on the challenge of demystifying whisky flavour as they relaunched their brand. By using five mood categories, whisky fans can quickly navigate to whichever whiskies they are in the mood for. Every one of the 3000 casks in The Single Cask’s Glenrothes warehouse fits within one of their five mood categories – cheerful, playful, bold, curious and easy-going.

It strives to empower the drinks industry and offers services including financial assistance, wellbeing support and industry training. In 2023, The Drinks Trust supported over 5,400 beneficiary acts and spent nearly £720,000 on support services.
