Description

Arbikie’s Highland Rye is the physical embodiment of unrelenting taste and an unapparelled effort to create something special and unique. It has macadamia nuts and marzipan, vanilla essence and liquorice and a freshly baked loaf of rye on the nose.

Arbikie are leading the rye renaissance. They’re the first Scottish distillery to release a rye whisky in over 100 years after beginning to grow their own rye in 2014. If this is only the start, I can’t wait to see what’s to come. The Highland Rye is dangerously good. A bottle for the whisky connoisseur looking to add a point of difference to their collection.

About this SPIRIT

Arbikie Distillery

Arbikie Distillery

Established by the three Stirling brothers on their family’s picturesque East Coast estate, Arbikie Distillery has upheld a steadfast sustainability commitment since its inception. From the moment the distillery’s doors swung open, they embarked on a remarkable journey with sustainability firmly embedded in their core values. Arbikie’s dedication to environmental responsibility is nothing short of exemplary.

At the heart of the distillery’s sustainability journey is its pioneering use of hydrogen fuel, a groundbreaking innovation that has set them apart in the world of distillation. This innovative approach to energy sourcing demonstrates their unwavering dedication to reducing their carbon footprint. Hydrogen fuel, known for its clean and renewable characteristics, powers their distillation process, ensuring their operations have minimal environmental impact.

However, Arbikie’s sustainability commitments extend far beyond their energy sources. Their dedication to being carbon-positive is a testament to their holistic approach to environmental stewardship. They actively engage in sustainable farming practices, cultivating crops that contribute to their distillation and help offset carbon emissions. These carbon-positive crops represent a genuine effort to give back to the planet by sequestering more carbon than they emit, making Arbikie a true leader in green distilling.

Scotch whisky

Scotch whisky

The styles of Scotch Whisky:

  • Malt Whisky is produced only from 100% malted barley.
  • Grain Whisky derives from a mixture of cereals (e.g. corn, maize) that may or may not include barley.
  • Blended Whisky combines grain and malt whiskies.
  • Vatted Malt Whisky (aka Blended Malt) involves the blending of several single malt scotch whiskies from different distilleries.


The traditional regions of Scotch whisky
Lowlands: North of the English border, and south of a line drawn between Greenock in the west, and Dundee in the east, Lowlands produces subtle whiskies of delicate floral, grassy character and little or no peat influence.

Highlands: This is a broad area, lying between Speyside and   with distinct regional variation in the malts produced, ranging from richness and fullness of flavour (Northern Highlands) to sweet, delicate peatiness (Eastern Highlands), to maritime characters (Western Highlands), the clean fruitiness (Perthshire)

Speyside: It encompasses more than half of Scotland's distilleries. Speysides are essentially sweet whiskies, with just a whiff of peatiness, typically highly perfumed, feminine and elegant.

Islay: The peaty soil and Islay's maritime exposure on the west coast of Scotland results in the most robust, oily, heavily-peated, medicinal style of malts.

Campbeltown: At the toe of the Kintyre peninsula, it counts only two active distilleries, Glen Scotia and Springbank. The whiskies share a distinct maritime influence (salty and sewed characters) overlaid with smoky notes

The Scottish Islands: Orkney, Shetland (with Scotland's most northern distillery), Skye, Mull, Jura and Arran typically produce robust malts, at various degrees of peat and smoke intensity. Some are more akin to Highland malts, others evoke Islay malts.

As well as the whiskies listed below in the BBR website,  the Spirits Room in our London Shop holds further stocks of  rare and premium whiskies, many exclusive to Berry Bros & Rudd.
