Lion Rock Summer 2026
Limited edition · 300 bottles
Our end-of-summer 2026 release of Lion Rock celebrates the vibrant beauty of a Cumbrae summer. Artist Martina Martin, who also painted our Gargowan No.35 and Veya Vodka labels, has reimagined the label with a bold new palette that captures the rugged charm of Millport’s Lion Rock.
Nose: sweet barley sugar, caramelised orange and maritime wax, with Black Forest gâteau, peach and cream.
Palate: charred marshmallow, mild marzipan fruits and old-school seaside rock.
Finish: gentle heat, a hint of leather and a smooth, creamy richness.
The Legend of Lion Rock
Legend speaks of an ancient prehistoric rock formation born of a rivalry between good and evil.
Long ago, a group of good elves sought to connect an island to the mainland by constructing a majestic bridge, known today as Lion Rock. But their efforts drew the ire of goblins, who, in envy and spite, began building their own bridge.
Realising they were losing, the goblins abandoned their project and turned to sabotage, shattering the elves’ creation. The result? Lion Rock as we see it today—a testament to the enduring struggle between light and darkness.
Stone Lore Single Malt
Past release · Sold out
Our first single malt: a single cask, 10-year-old Speyside, bottled without chill filtration and at natural colour. It was inspired by the Gouklan Stone, the standing stone hidden in the woods on Cumbrae.
Tasting notes: biscuity crumble, orchard fruit and winter berries, with a lingering sweetness of traditional caramel boiled sweets.
Earlier Lion Rock Releases
Past releases · Sold out
Our first whisky was a twin release of blended malts telling both sides of the Lion Rock legend: an unpeated blend for the lighter side, with vanilla, poached pear and smooth butterscotch, and a peated blend for the darker side, with earthy, maritime notes and a hint of salty sweetness.
They were followed by our Summer 2025 limited edition.
