Whisky Focus - Gleann Mor Rare Find 2025 Spring Single Cask Release's

Gleann Mor Rare Find, the independent bottler of single cask and small batch whiskies, is kicking off its 10th anniversary with a line-up of new single malts, each marking a unique milestone in the brand’s journey.

Founded in Leith, Edinburgh, Rare Find specialises in limited-edition whiskies from sought-after distilleries, carefully selected, matured, and finished in top-quality casks. The latest releases feature four standout Scotch single malts, including Glen Ord’s debut, a collaborative team selection, and the brand’s first experiment with a rum cask from Foursquare in Barbados.

The 2025 Spring Rare Find releases are:

• Glen Garioch 16 Year Old (Ribera del Duero Finish): A milestone selection, this marks the first cask chosen collaboratively by the entire Rare Find team. Finished in a Spanish Ribera del Duero wine cask, it is said to deliver a deep, complex profile with layers of dark fruit and spice.
   
• Glen Ord 10 Year Old (Châteauneuf-du-Pape Finish): The first Glen Ord ever released by Rare Find, this Highland single malt has been given a sophisticated twist with a finish in Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine casks, which they say has added rich berry notes to its signature malt character.
   
• Secret Lowland 11 Year Old (Sherry Hogshead): A classic sherried Lowland malt, this expression is said to offer a harmonious balance of dried fruit, toffee, and warm spices, perfect for sherry cask aficionados.
   
• Dailuaine 16 Year Old (Foursquare Rum Finish): A pioneering release, this is the first time Rare Find has worked with a Foursquare Rum cask. The result they say  is a beautifully layered whisky where Dailuaine’s rich, malty character is complemented by tropical sweetness and oak spice from the renowned Barbadian distillery.

Speaking about the upcoming release, Greg Urquhart, Spirits Manager for Rare Find shared his excitement: "This latest collection is a testament to our relentless pursuit of quality and flavour, and each bottle tells a unique story, both of the liquid’s maturation and of the journey of Rare Find over the last decade. We can’t wait for whisky lovers to discover them and to find new favourites!"
