RESTORATION: the WRG whisky aged for 10 years to celebrate 50!

The wait is over… WRG’s limited edition, private cask, single malt Islay Scotch whisky is bottled and ready to go!

Matured in a Rivesaltes Hoghead Cask, WRG’s ‘Restoration’ whisky has been bottled at 10 years old at a cask strength of 62.7%. The whisky comes from Bruichladdich Distillery, a self-styled progressive Hebridean Distiller, that is not only dedicated to producing world-class whisky but doing it in the most sustainable way they can.

So how did WRG come to have a cask of whisky? Apparently, it’s all the WRG Chairman’s fault… 10 years ago Mike and Jude Palmer invited WRG Director Harry Watts along on their now annual pilgrimage to Islay, ‘Scotland’s whisky island’. Following his trip to Islay, Harry struck upon an idea to buy a cask of whisky and donate it to WRG. In true WRG style, the donation was made in humour, with Harry knowing it would cause one big headache 10 years later, for WRG’s 50th birthday. He hoped that instead of selling the cask back to the distillery WRG would think big and decide to create a one-off WRG whisky to raise funds for WRG.

There are only 278 bottles of this lovingly crafted cask strength whisky available. Each bottle has been individually numbered 1-278. The official launch of the whisky pre-sales was on Tuesday 23rd February and we have already sold 45% of bottles. If you want to buy one of the remaining bottles, now’s your chance: just fill in the form below and send it off with your cheque. Bottles will be dispatched in May.

All funds raised from the sale of the whisky will go straight back into WRG so we can continue offering a varied and wide range of canal restoration activities - making sure the spirit of WRG continues on into the future.
