Fifty Sheds of Grey
This month’s marketing event is, of course, Valentine’s Day. And what could be more romantic than the gift of whisky on Valentine’s Day? Well, quite a lot apparently – yet another lesson I learnt the hard way. Whilst I exploit the most* romantic day of the year day to bring in few more bottle sales, […]
Shed a few pounds
Soggy January A new year is now in full swing and for us whisky bottlers it can be a bit of a struggle to get going in January. After a couple of weeks of consuming anything with an ABV above 3% or cheese in the ingredients, motivation can be hard to find. Add to that, […]
Indie Bottlers

When you’re quite finished…
Cask are a vital part of the whisky making process and here at Shed Quarters we’ve had our highs and lows with our oaky friends. In recent years ‘finishing’ whisky – transferring the whisky to a different cask for a final period to pick up additional flavours – has become de rigueur, especially since changes […]
Shedache
A quick update but mainly a slow moan… By crikey. It’s been one of those weeks where my already grey hair must have gone at least two tones greyer. Orders not turning up, labels going south, delays, losses, and fiendish accounting software that’s designed to make someone’s job easier, just not mine. We all have […]
