Claxton’s

28.jpg

Claxton’s was formed in 2011 with the first range of single cask Scotch whiskies finally ready for a very successful launch four years later in 2015. Building on this with subsequent releases and quickly developing a loyal following across Europe, by 2019 it was time to establish a cask maturation warehouse. One hundred years after the Landale family bought Dalswinton Estate in 1919, Claxton’s moved into Sandbed House on the banks of the River Nith, in the heart of the Scottish Lowlands, and the Dalswinton Bond was born.

In partnership with the Estate, the first stage in this new chapter was an extensive restoration project on the outbuildings at the Dalswinton Bond bringing them back into full use.  The extra effort put into the renovations proved very much worth it, resulting in traditional, dunnage-style warehousing alongside more modern racked facilities, perfect for both long-term and short-term whisky maturation in the beautiful Scottish countryside.  

Since then, the Claxton’s team have worked tirelessly to make Dalswinton Bond the perfect location to hone our craft by expanding the maturation warehouses, creating a tasting room and archive, as well as developing an onsite blending and bottling facility. This gives us complete control over every process of cask maturation to ensure we continue to achieve the highest possible standards of Scotch whisky making.

The next step was, and forever will be, whisky maturation and bottling. Quality-focused and deliberately selected, the oak casks used at Dalswinton Bond are sourced from specialist producers from across the world with as much care and attention as the spirit that fills them. Quality, variety, and individuality are at the forefront of the Claxton’s ethos when combining spirit and wood for maturation. Every shape, size and type of cask is used for a specific reason. Each of the Claxton’s releases is selected by a passionate, experienced and dedicated team, who have created our entire product portfolio, which currently includes Warehouse No.1 and Warehouse No.8, Exploration Series, Grain Barn and the Dalswinton Series.

The focus and attention given to the cask selection process transfers into each bottling and reflects the forward-thinking energy and ingenuity of the Dalswinton Estate, making it the perfect location for our casks to mature.
