Bartels Highland Laird 11YR Caol Ila Single Malt Scotch, 53.90% ABV (700ml)

Bartels Whisky — Quietly Serious About Single Casks

Bartels Whisky is a UK-based, family-run independent bottler focused on single-cask Scotch bottled at cask strength and natural color. While they also serve as the UK distributor for Germany’s Malts of Scotland, their own labels reflect a more personal, hands-on approach to cask selection and presentation.

Among these, the premium blended range His Excellency sits alongside their single-cask single-malt label, Highland Laird.

Highland Laird — A Family Legacy, Reimagined

The Highland Laird name has been part of the family’s story for over 50 years. In 2014, Bartels revived it as their dedicated single-cask series — a platform for showcasing carefully selected, character-driven casks.

Each release is individually chosen (often from lesser-seen distilleries or with distinctive maturation profiles), bottled at cask strength, with natural color, and presented as a one-off expression — no shortcuts, no compromises.
