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!

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.

It is a superb documentary from start to finish, loved every minute, highly recommended!!

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!
