Inspired by legendary tales of illicit whisky making in the Scottish Highlands during the 18th and 19th centuries, The Illicit Still range captures a spirit of adventure in every scent. Each fragrance has been carefully curated to evoke the atmosphere of the era, while historical details on our beautiful copper tins share stories of illegal whisky making and the inspiration behind each scent.
Each tin is designed to echo elements of a whisky bottle and enhance the user experience. The 19th-century-style font, once used by distilleries, is rendered in gold to reflect the look of traditional whisky bottles. The top label features decorative scrollwork often found on whisky labels, while the Hamilton and Morris customs stamp and distillery signature assure the excise that our duty has been paid.
The Illicit Still range is created for those who enjoy a dram, appreciate Scottish history and culture, or want to take home a small piece of Scotland from their travels.
The First Dram blends notes of whisky, malt, and vanilla, with smoky peat adding a distinctive character reminiscent of the finest malts.
