Independent Spirits

Fascinating and fabulous, I thought I knew whisky but this blew my mind. It's the story of the artists and artisans who have brought their love of whisky to the world. It's these innovators and auters who discover and invent new tastes, sometimes it's a single, exceptional cask, sometimes their expertise is in blending to bring out new tastes, new sensations.

It's beautifully shot and the story is told by the people making the whisky. It's both captivating and informative.

This is a story I knew nothing about, if you think that single marks are the pinnacle of whisky then, please, watch this and discover a while new world!

This 4-part series is a fascinating and compelling look at a segment of the Scotch whisky world that many people may not be familiar with. Using interviews with those involved, it tells the story of who independent bottlers are and what an important role they play in the Scotch whisky industry.

It's beautifully shot and edited and I especially enjoyed getting the feeling that I was being taken behind the scenes into some historically cool whisky locations. It gave me the chance to listen to people from around the world share their own unique stories about what it takes to make it in this business and, equally important I thought, the filmmakers showcased the real passion that these people have for what they do.

If you're a whisky fan (like me) you'll really enjoy it. If you're not a whisky fan, you'll still find a great story here. Highly recommend.

What a brilliant piece of art! A very emotional portrait of the world of independent bottlers with great characters and beautiful Pictures. The film is a short trip in that Whisky universe and leads you to places no one has seen before throughout Scotland and many other places in Europe. It doesn't focus on how whisky is made - it is more the lovely story of the people behind the bottles. Each of them will tell you its specific one and there is a huge variety of them. Although I have been knowing very much about the Water of life I still learned and discovered really a lot about this very special Drink. Congratulations!

Just beautiful.

Fabulously produced mini series, real in depth look at independent whisky in Scotland. Got to see the preview at Leith theatre and was very interesting and humorous.

Great for any whisky fan to watch as gives a true look at indy bottlers with most of the well established businesses represented very well.

As someone that is really interested in the Scotch Whisky industry as a whole and mainly a hobbies, found it really informative and gave a massive insight into the industry which you would not know unless you were part of it.

Would highly recommend and have been recommending to friends all over the world.

Whether you love whisky or have no connection yet with the drink or industry, this film captures the essence and spirit of the Independents' who bring so much authenticity to a global community connected by a drink that is inspiring to millions of people across the world.

The team really but some leaves on those branches, to help give the inspirations and insights that drive people to become indie bottlers.

Not only does the film allow the viewer to learn about how indie bottlers work and help each other, it also blows off those cobwebs of the stereotypes who both work in the spirits industry, who create fantastic bottlings and of course enjoy sharing a fabulous dram with great company.
