Fife bottler Spiritfilled marks fifth year of Mythical Beasts label with five new releases

The business, which also runs a cask dealership division, has earned a growing reputation for unearthing exceptional single cask whiskies since being founded by Ross Archer and Russell Spratley in 2021.

To mark the fifth anniversary milestone, five casks that reflect both “diversity and excellence” across the range have been selected.

The new expressions take the total number of releases to 21 across the Mythical Beasts range, spanning multiple regions, ages and cask styles.

Since launch, the label has received strong recognition across industry competitions, with highlights including International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC) gold medals, World Whiskies Awards category wins, and multiple medals from The Spirits Business tastings.

The Balmenach 13-year-old is described as a vibrant Speyside whisky finished in a sherry hogshead, delivering richness and intensity at cask strength.

The Aberlour 13-year-old, finished in a PX sherry hogshead, promises a deeper, more indulgent profile, showcasing classic Speyside character with added sweetness and depth.

Moving into older expressions, the Loch Lomond 24-year-old combines bourbon maturation with a port barrique finish, bringing together bright red fruit notes with elegant structure.

The Tobermory 30-year-old is triple-cask matured in sherry butt, rum and PX sherry casks and was chosen because it offers real individuality at 30 years of age - “mature, characterful and unmistakably expressive”.

Finally, the Tomatin 30-year-old represents the pinnacle of the release, described as a beautifully matured Highland whisky with an Oloroso finish, offering layered orchard fruits, honeyed richness and remarkable balance.
