Domhayn 2010 Loch Ness Edition Spirit Drink

This is the inaugural release from maturation innovators Domhayn, an unprecedented single cask spirit drink hydrostatically-diffused in a cask submerged at the depths of Loch Ness.

Cask DLNABK, a small European oak cask seasoned for 12 months with a blend of Oloroso and Pedro Ximénez sherries, was filled with a 15 year old natural strength, unpeated, single malt whisky from the North East of Scotland. ​​​​​The cask was then lowered to the depths of Scotland's iconic landmark on Valentines Day 2025, sitting an incredible 214 meters (702 feet) below the surface. Under more than 280 PSI of pressure, the extreme conditions alter the spirit as the cask compresses - a phenomenon unseen in traditional maturation.

Samples of the spirit before and after submersion have been analysed using mass spectometry by the University of Oxford, demonstrating a decrease in sulphur molecules and an increase of those attributed to the cask itself.

The bottle itself features the exact coordinates where the cask lay on the loch floor, and is presented in a handmade, leather-lined, wax-cotton bag, produced in collaboration with Canadian fashion designer Charlotte McKeough.

This is one of only six bottles made available from the brand's first submerged cask.
