Family at Heart

THE PERFECT FIFTH

Scotch whisky has always held an important place at our family gatherings. Long before I was able to enjoy whisky myself, I watched my brothers, uncles, father, and grandfather toast life’s achievements with it. Without even tasting whiskey I had a passion and interest in it. That exposure inspired me to found The Perfect Fifth in 2019.

As I explored the world of Scotch whisky, I noticed a serious lack of stellar single cask bottlings. Our company bridges that gap by sourcing the best quality whisky from all over Scotland. We don’t limit ourselves to any one region or distillery, we bring the best of every Scotch to you, one cask at a time. By seeking to exhibit a unique and niche view of these incredible distilleries, we are able to deliver nothing but remarkable single cask Scotch whisky -the forgotten hidden gems left to mature even longer in the corners of award-winning distilleries.

After I began uncovering these whiskeys, I turned to someone I could trust, someone I had seen passionately enjoying whisky many times before -my brother Ben. Together, we travel Scotland sampling cask after cask until we the few worthy to be The Perfect Fifth. We then carefully deliver them to the market in incredibly curated limited single cask releases.

And thus, as our story and brand began with family, we know so too will be its final chapter—enjoyed around the table during the holidays, toasting at an engagement, celebrating a birth, and all of life’s accomplishments. We look forward to sharing them with you! Cheers

“Barely a year old, the company is off to a great start. It was named Scotch Campbeltown Independent Bottler of the Year at the Whisky Magazine Awards Independent Bottlers Challenge in December 2019... All four of these whiskies are outstanding and offer up the classic taste profiles of the featured distilleries. These are single barrel offerings, so the availability is quite limited but certainly worth a taste.”
