The Sons of Scotland 2012 Stir The Cashly #1552 is a Highland single malt whisky distilled at Stirling Distillery and bottled in 2020. This limited edition release is one of only 401 bottles produced, and each bottle is uniquely numbered. This particular bottle is number 162. The whisky has been carefully aged for 8 years in Hogshead cask #1552, allowing it to develop a distinctive character and depth.
As the inaugural release in the Sons of Scotland series, this whisky pays homage to Stirlingshire's rich whisky-making heritage by featuring single cask bottlings named after historical distilleries in the region. The Cashly, founded in 1825 by George Drew, was originally located at Cashly Farm, on the A811 road, just half a mile southwest of Buchlyvie, Stirlingshire. The distillery's process water was sourced from Cashley Burn, which flowed into the River Forth.
This single cask release is not only a celebration of the distilleries of yesteryear but also a unique opportunity to experience the Highland casks reminiscent of the Cashly Distillery, which was established in the 19th century. Bottled at an ABV of 46%, this whisky promises a profound and engaging tasting experience.

Aroma: Intense vanilla, wood, winey notes, apple, pear, fruit blossom, cake crust, licorice
Taste: Watery, orchard fruits, sweetness, bitter
Finish: Short, malty, bitter
Overall: This whisky presents an intriguing aromatic profile with intense vanilla and wood, complemented by subtle winey notes and orchard fruits like apple and pear. The taste reveals a slightly watery texture with a sweet beginning that turns bitter towards the end. The finish is short and leaves a malty, bitter aftertaste.
While the Sons of Scotland 2012 Stir The Cashly #1552 offers a rich and complex aromatic experience, its taste and finish may leave some whisky enthusiasts wanting more. The sweetness in the taste can overpower the other notes, and the finish is notably shorter and more bitter than expected. It’s an interesting release but may not surpass other expressions like 'The Arngibbon'.
