WE DON’T JUST BOTTLE THE FINEST CASKS.
WE BOTTLE A STATE OF MIND.
Rest & Be Thankful is actually an existing brand. Created 10 years ago and Rest & Be Thankful released more than 80 expressions of single casks from the most prestigious Scottish distilleries such as Macallan, Bruichladdich, Springbank to name only a few. The brand was named after the majestic site of Rest & Be Thankful in Loch Lomond National Park in Scotland. Serendipitously, Rest & Be Thankful is also the name of a mountain peak in the natural park of Cockpit Country in Jamaica. Given that Scotland is famed for its whisky and Jamaica for its rum, it was only natural that both spirits will be bottled under the Rest & Be Thankful brand.
