Arbikie offers NAS single malt for £30,000
Independent Scottish farm distillery Arbikie has launched pre-orders for its first three single malt releases, including a no-age-statement £30,000 (US$40,640) whisky.
Arbikie unveiled its single malt whiskies at a series of private tastings held during the World Economic Forum in Davos in late January 2026, hosted by investment firm Tsao Pao Chee (TPC).
John Stirling, co-founder of Arbikie Distillery, commented: “Following international presentations on our distilling approach, we were invited by TPC of Singapore to take part in Davos. It provided an opportunity to introduce the Arbikie single malt in a global setting, and to begin a wider conversation around the whisky.”
The invitation-only tastings were held for a select group of global leaders, innovators, and decision-makers, offering an early glimpse of Arbikie’s inaugural single malt Scotch whisky before its launch.
During the tastings, Arbikie soft-launched the first ultra-limited editions of its single malt, providing an early indication of the distillery’s long-term vision for the category.
Iain Stirling, co-founder of Arbikie Distillery, said: “This is not intended as a large-scale launch. Davos was the right setting for an initial introduction, and the response has been hugely encouraging. We’re excited to build on that momentum as we move towards launch.”
The single malt is produced entirely on the B-Corp certified Arbikie Estate Distillery, established in 2014 on Scotland’s east coast.
Each step of the process, from growing the ingredients to distillation, maturation, and bottling, takes place on this family-owned farm distillery, with a field-to-bottle philosophy.
The rarest of the new releases, The Wild One, is limited to 100 bottles created by Glasstorm, each priced at £30,000 (US$40,640). The distillery’s website also states that all the bottles can be obtained for £3.2 million (US$4.3m), and applications confirmed on 30 April. The website describes the release as a whisky “shaped by wild, spontaneous fermentation” and terroir.
The Journey, on the other hand, is a series of nine single malts from 10-year-old to 18-year-old. Each expression is finished in different casks, including Bourbon, Port, rum, Burgundy, Cognac, Calvados, Sauternes, and mizunara.
Limited to 500 never-to-be-repeated sets, The Journey is priced at £3,000 (US$4,064) and is expected to ship in summer 2026.
The Signature is a 10-year-old single malt aged in ex-Bourbon casks. Released in the summer this year, the distillery’s inaugural single estate single malt Scotch whisky can now be pre-ordered for £250 (US$339) per bottle.
The single malt whiskies are offered alongside the distillery’s portfolio, which includes Kirsty’s Gin, Arbikie and Nàdar vodkas, and Highland Rye Whisky.
