Independent Spirits

Enjoyed all 4 sections which give you the ideas and experiences of what it like to be an Independent bottler of whisky. It also brings perspective views of other people in the industry. Not to be missed as an important addition to the history of the spirit. The filming of views of Scotland add texture to the film for enjoyment. So many independent bottlers were interviewed you begin to see how much love there is out there for single malt whisky and others. The Water of Life Filmsvhad continued their great voyage into the world of whisky. I would recommend watching each episode on its own and do some research into the stories told. Slainte!

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.

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 is a must watch if you love Scotch or want to know about it. The history, and passion for this wonderful spirit is masterfully explored in this series. It is an important of the culture and life blood of Scotland and its people. It was a magical experience and I was honored to see the preview in Leith. I have loved Scotch all my life and thought I knew everything about it, but I learned so much. I now fully understand its connection with its people. This documentary series is a true work of art. Every Scotch whisky reflects has its own personality and reflects the diversity of the land in Scotland. Slainte Mhah!
