High Spirits is an Italian independent bottler owned by Ferdinando (Nadi) Fiori, which specialises in single cask single malts bottled at cask strength. The company is noted for the artistic style of its labels and packaging in particular its Scottish Colourist, Sails In The Wind and Lochs And Castles Of Scotland ranges, as well as the more surreal Life Is A Circus series. High Spirits also bottled whiskies selected by renowned Italian collector Valentino Zagatti, bottled to celebrate Zagatti’s 50th anniversary of whisky collecting in 2008. Established in 1999 the company emerged from the dissolution of Italian alcohol importer Intertrade.

This independent bottling has been sourced from the Clynelish distillery where it was distilled in 2000. It was then placed in an ex Bourbon barrel and left to mature for 20 years. It was bottled at 46% abv in 2020.
