Blind Summit Whisky is a Leith-based passion project by two friends, James & Jamie. An independent whisky bottler focussing on exciting, brightly labelled, flavourful whiskies. It’s a bit more like the whisky equivalent to Gypsy Brewing with selection, maturation and bottling being carried out in different locations depending on which friendly warehouse is available. This release they bottled by hand on April 1st and labelled on April 18th.
Each release is under 250 bottles so they are always limited and often sell out quickly.
Each outturn uses a different local artist to design an original art piece for the label. This release, Outturn II, features original artwork by Liam Palermo, based on a photograph of the Three Sisters Munros, taken by co-founder James, and created in a Japanese Anime style.
