Introducing Falkirk Distillery’s New Kelpies Sherry & Bourbon Release - Single Malt Whiskies
Reviving tradition, creating the future.
Falkirk Whisky Distillery rests in the heart of the lowlands of Scotland.
To celebrate our five years of production, the distillery has released two remarkable cask strength whiskies, each as unique as the story of Falkirk Distillery.
Both cask strength single malts are distilled using spring water drawn from an artesian spring on the site of the iconic Falkirk Distillery. This, together with our historic Speyside copper stills and mash tun, produces an unrivalled lowland spirit.
The distillery’s traditional dunnage warehousing allows the spirit to mature whilst it absorbs the individual characteristics of our sherry and bourbon casks. Each cask has a distinct character and deserves to be savoured in its purest form.

Our Kelpies releases take their inspiration from the iconic The Kelpies, located just a short distance from the distillery. These striking 30-metre-high horse head sculptures celebrate the strength, spirit and heritage of Scotland’s working horses, deeply rooted in the history of the Forth & Clyde Canal. Their close proximity to the distillery, and the sense of scale and presence they bring to the landscape made them a natural inspiration for these expressions. Much like the sculptures themselves, our Kelpies whiskies are bold, characterful and designed to leave a lasting impression, with each cask reflecting both the power and elegance associated with these remarkable structures.
