Best Dram – Everything you should know about the independent bottler

Have you heard of Best Dram? If not, you've come to the right place. Best Dram is one of the most exciting independent bottlers on the whisky market. But what exactly makes independent bottlers special, who is behind Best Dram, and why you should definitely take a closer look at their whiskies? You'll find out all about it here.

What is an independent bottler?

Before we talk about Best Dram, let's briefly clarify what an independent bottler actually is. Instead of distilling whiskies themselves, independent bottlers like Best Dram purchase casks directly from distilleries. These casks are then either left as they are or further matured and finally bottled under their own label. What makes them special? Independent bottlers can offer you different cask types or alcohol percentages than you're used to from certain brands. They value individuality and offer you the opportunity to discover truly unique whiskies.
