About The Whiskey Lab Whispering Waters Whiskey:

Whispering Waters is an independent bottling brand of Scotch whisky founded by Jay Roberts under his company, The Whiskey Lab. The brand specializes in single-cask and small-batch releases sourced directly from various Scottish distilleries.

Brand Identity & Philosophy
The name “Whispering Waters” is a salute to the “Silent Service”—the traditional nickname for the submarine force—reflecting the founder’s background as a U.S. Navy submariner. The brand follows a strict quality commitment:
 
True Cask Strength: Bottled at the natural ABV straight from the barrel.

Natural Character: All whiskies are non-chill filtered and feature natural color with no additives.

Single Cask Exclusivity: Each release comes from a single cask, meaning once it is sold out, it will not be reproduced.  

Notable Releases & Tasting Notes
Whispering Waters sources spirits from several renowned distilleries, ranging from younger Speyside malts to extremely aged single grains:
