Fable Whisky Collection

Indie bottler Fable (Pendulum Spirits) have created a series of bottlings, which will be released as volumes relating to atmospheric tales from Scottish folklore. They have organised the range into a series of Chapters, with each whisky in their first batch of releases bearing a label related to one aspect of their first Fable, The Ghost Piper of Clanyard Bay. As is clear from all the effort that has gone into these bottlings, they are very serious about their mission to combine whisky and storytelling. Their Ghost Piper myth is illustrated on their labels by Bolivian artist Hugo Cuellar with each release featuring a different label design relating to a chapter of the fable. Each of these whiskies are refill casks from high quality Diageo distilleries and crucially they’ve been bottled at cask strength without colouring or chill filtration. Individually numbered from a single Hogshead. The first whiskies in Fable’s Volume One release are as follows:
