Claxton’s was formed in 2011, but it didn’t start running as a business until 2015 when our first range of single cask whiskies was released. Fast forward to 2018 and we realised that we needed our own warehouse…
In 2019, one hundred years after the Landale family bought Dalswinton Estate, Claxton’s moved into Sandbed House on the banks of the River Nith, and the Dalswinton Bond was born.
All of our whisky is natural colour, non-chill filtered, and taken from a single cask, meaning the whisky we produce is stand-alone with a truly individual profile. We have a varied range of products that cater to different markets and tastes. Alongside our core ranges (Warehouse No.1 and Warehouse No.8, Exploration Series) we are continually developing new product ideas, new flavour profiles, and running new experiments. For the whole team, whisky is a passion, not just a day job and every stage in the process is more exciting than the last.
